The release date of Kalank, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt starrer film has been preponed in order to observe an extended weekend of 5 days. Helmed by Abhishek Varman, will now release on April 17, which was earlier slated to release on April 19. The shift in the release date is a business decision taken by producer Karan Johar considering Hollywood film ‘Avengers: End Game’ which will hit the screens on April 26. ‘Kalank’ will observe a nine-day run at the box office prior to the Hollywood release.

A source close to the development said, “The idea is to capitalize on Mahavir Jayanti as well as Good Friday, besides Saturday and Sunday. It’s an extended weekend with two partial holidays. And going by past records, it’s a good time for a big film to release.”
