Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan were all set for the release of Coolie No. 1 on May 1, that also happens to be Labour Day. Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus pandemic that led to the global lockdown and cinema halls across the world being shut down, the film was postponed.

A report by Bollywood Hungama now reports that the film could open in the cinemas on the New Year's Eve, January 1, 2021! A source, while talking about the potential release date of the comedy, informed the portal and said, "The makers had multiple meetings over the last few weeks and everyone unanimously felt that David Dhawan's 45th directorial should arrive on the big screen. In tough times like this, comedy is something that will bring the audience to the cinema hall and make them forget all the grief. It's a family entertainer warrants community viewing."
