The upcoming comedy 'Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se' which was earlier scheduled to hit the screens on August 15, 2018, has now been pushed ahead by 2 weeks. With the release date being pushed, this independence day is going to witness clash of Akshay Kumar's 'Gold' and John Abraham's 'Satyamev Jayate'.
In an official statement, Sunny Deol, who plays one of the three leads alongside father Dharmendra and brother Bobby Deol, said that their decision was taken because of the patriotism-themed Gold and Satyamev Jayate on August 15. Gold, starring Akshay Kumar, is a sports drama based on India’s first Olympic gold medal in hockey after independence. John Abraham stars as a vigilante in Satyamev Jayate.
“Our film is a wholesome family entertainer hence we have decided to release our film YPD Phir Se [Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se] two weeks later on 31st August 2018,” statement has been released. Noted film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and shared the news. He wrote:
'Gold' features Akshay in the lead role with Mouni Roy, Kunal Kapoor, Vineet Kumar Singh, Amit Sadh, Sunny Kaushal playing pivotal parts. The story is set on the backdrop of India winning its first gold medal in hockey as a free nation in the 1948 Summer Olympics.
Meanwhile 'Satyamev Jayate' is a thriller drama which has been directed by Milap Zaveri and co-produced by Bhushan Kumar Krishan Kumar, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani respectively.
Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se is the third installment in the comedy franchise starring the Deols that began with Yamla Pagla Deewana in 2011 and continued with Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 in 2013.
With the trailer of Gold released today, Akshay Kumar has yet again delivered a masterstroke considering the fact that the film belongs to the patriotic genre - a genius that he is pretty much thorough in. Gold depicts the struggle for India's first Gold as a free nation.
