Ajay Devgn’s upcoming romantic-comedy, De De Pyaar De, which was set to release on March 15, has got a new release date. The film backed by Luv Ranjan will now hit the silver screens on May 17. Makers of the film took this decision to avoid the clash with Ajay’s comic caper, Total Dhamaal (February 22), which was just 20 days before the initial release of DDPD. A source close to the development informed that the maker chose May 17 as the new release date as no big-budget is releasing on that Friday.
Bhushan Kumar, who is producing the film with Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, confirmed the news saying, “DDPD is a commercial entertainer and deserves a good release date and we don’t think Total Dhamaal and our film should release within 15-20 days of each other. May 17 is a good date.”
DDPD marks the directorial debut of Akiva Ali and Ajay’s return to rom-com genre. His last film that was a romantic-comedy was Dil Toh Bacha Hai Ji (2011). Tabu and Rakul Preet Singh will be playing the female leads in this film. Ajay’s look from the film was released last month.
