RajKummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi's 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' skips theatres, to release online

The makers of the Bollywood flick Bhool Chuk Maaf have decided to forgo its planned theatrical release and instead debut the film directly on Prime Video on May 16. The romantic comedy was initially set to hit cinemas on May 9.

The shift comes in response to "recent events and heightened security drills across the nation," as shared by the filmmakers, in an official statement on social media.

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh, too, posted the update on social media.

Directed and written by Karan Sharma, Bhool Chuk Maaf marks a new collaboration between Rao and Gabbi.

The film's story follows Ranjan, played by Rao, a man who is deeply in love with Titli, portrayed by Gabbi.

In the earlier released trailer, viewers are introduced to Ranjan and Titli as a couple who face a series of challenges on their way to marriage.

A police officer suggests that they elope, but Ranjan must secure a government job within two months to win over Titli's conservative family.
