Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi`s much-anticipated film Bhool Chuk Maaf`s theatrical release has been cancelled. Yes, it`s true—amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan and ongoing security drills in the country, the makers of the film have decided to take the major step of shifting to a direct-to-OTT release. Directed and written by Karan Sharma, Bhool Chuk Maaf pairs Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi for the very first time, bringing together irresistible chemistry, quirky storytelling, and the soul of small-town India.

Today, while announcing this major decision, the official page of Maddock revealed the news, saying, "In light of recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation, we at Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios have decided to bring our family entertainer, Bhool Chuk Maaf, directly to your homes on May 16—only on Prime Video, worldwide. While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating this film with you in theatres, the spirit of the nation comes first. JAI HIND."
