Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 26 : The upcoming supernatural thriller 'Nikita Roy,' starring Sonakshi Sinha and initially scheduled for release on June 27, has been postponed to a new date. Moviegoers will have to wait a few more weeks as the horror drama will now hit theatres on July 18.
The makers of the film, on Thursday, took to their Instagram account to share a statement explaining the reason for the delay, citing a "battle for screens" due to multiple films releasing at the same time.
"Hi guys! We have found ourselves in the midst of multiple releases and a battle for screens. With advice from our well-wishers in the fraternity, distributors, and exhibitors, we have collectively decided to push our release to the 18th of July so that we can reach a wider audience. Thank you for the immense love you have shown for the film so far, but you'll have to wait a little longer, and we promise you, the 18th of July will be worth the wait! See you in the theaters," the statement read.
