With an ensemble cast including bigwigs like Amitabh Bachchan, Emraan Hashmi, Raghubir Yadav, Rhea Chakraborty and more, Chehre was always set up for a theatrical release. With the pandemic halting and delaying plans of the film's release to further dates, the makers held onto the film, instead of opting for an OTT release. Now, it looks like the wait has paid off.
"The team was actually hoping for an April release initially, but then August was settled on. Now, the discussions are favouring a August 27th or September 3rd release. The work and time that has gone into the film has resulted in a film that the makers are confident in, an official statement will be released soon", says a close source, also adding that a second trailer might be in the works.
