The film’s makers, Maddock Films, announced the new release date on its Instagram handle on Thursday. After being postponed amid a crowded release calendar, Rajkummar Rao ‘s upcoming biopic on public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, Prahaar , has finally got a new release date. This new release data may, however, mean that the film could clash with another Rajkummar film.
How this developed
The movie is directed by Avinash Arun, known for Paatal Lok and Three of Us. It is produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Films banner. The project also features Wamiqa Gabbi, Jaideep Ahlawat and Sikander Kher in key roles. One of the major talking points surrounding the film is Rajkummar’s physical transformation. But the new date also has another film releasing, and incidentally, it also stars Rajkummar Rao.
The film was earlier slated to release on August 7. To portray Nikam, the actor gained approximately 9-10 kilograms and adopted a heavier build, stubble, glasses and a commanding grasp of Marathi. Prahaar was moved from August to avoid being affected by Awarapan 2 and Batwara 1947, two big films releasing just a week after its original release date. Aditya Nimbalkar’s Raftaar, starring Rajkummar and Keerthy Suresh, is also set to release on October 16.
