The makers of Kapil Sharma's Firangi want to cash in on the postponement of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati. Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor starrer Padmavati was scheduled to release on December 1, 2017, however CBFC has not yet cleared the movie and this means that Padmavati won't be releasing as scheduled.

Kapil Sharma's Firangi was scheduled to release on November 24, 2017, however the release date of Firangi has been postponed to December 1, 2017. It will now be a one horse race on December 1, 2017 as no other major movie is scheduled to release on that date.

The information was shared by trade analyst Taran Adarsh. He tweeted, “Kapil Sharma’s #Firangi, which was scheduled to release on 24 Nov 2017, is now pushed to 1 Dec 2017… Directed by Rajiev Dhingra… Stars Kapil Sharma and Ishita Dutta.” Even Fukrey Returns has changed its release date. While they were supposed to hit the screens on December 15, now the film will head to theaters on December 8. Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Monsoon Shootout witnessed a change too. The film was heading for a December 15 release but now one it will hit the screens on December 8.
