The release date of the Jim Sarbh and Amit Sadh-starrer Pune Highway has been shifted by a week. The thriller, which was earlier supposed to be shown in theatres on May 16, will now release on May 23.

In a statement, the makers shared: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to shift the release of our film Pune Highway from May 16 to May 23. We look forward to seeing you at the cinemas."

The shift in release date comes amid several reschedulings in the industry following the India-Pakistan tensions.

The film’s trailer, unveiled earlier, offers a tense and thrilling preview of the story, which unravels following the discovery of a dead body that throws the lives of three childhood friends into chaos.

Directed by Bugs Bhargava Krishna and Rahul daCunha, Pune Highway is a whodunnit based on a play of the same name.

Produced by Drop D Films and Ten Years Younger Productions, the film also features Anuvab Pal, Manjari Fadnnis, Ketki Narayan, Sudeep Modak, Abhishek Krishnan, Swapnil Ajgaonkar, and Shishir Sharma.
