The film which was originally scheduled to be released on 31 January will now come out in cinema halls on 13 March 202. The makers took to the Twitter account of the film to share the information and wrote, “Get ready to take a Chhalaang with us on 13th March 2020!”
The film stars Rajkummar Rao and Nushrat Bharucha in the lead roles while Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub also appears in a supporting role. Directed by Hansal Mehta, the film is touted to be a social comedy based in a small town in Uttar Pradesh.

The film marks the reunion of Mehta and Rao who have previously worked in a number of films such as Shahid (2012), Citylights (2014), Aligarh (2015), and Omerta (2017). Shahid, based on the life of lawyer and human rights activist Shahid Azmi who was shot dead at his Mumbai office, got Rao the Best Actor Award and Mehta the Best Director Award at the 61st National Film Awards ceremony.
Rao and Bharucha, on the other hand, earlier featured together in Dibakar Banerjee’s 2010 anthology drama Love Sex Aur Dhokha.
Produced by Ajay Devgn, Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, Chhalaang will now be released on 13 March 2020.
