Nargis Fakhri's Amavas, which was supposed to be released on January 11, will now hit the screens on February 1. The VFX and the post-production works have been cited as the reason behind the delay. 

The film's director, Bhushan Patel, said in a statement: "We are trying to achieve top-class VFX and that is little time-consuming. We do not want to release the film haphazardly and want to ensure that the end product is up to the mark."

Bhushan Patel has previously directed horror films like Ragini MMS 2, 1920 Evil and Alone, apart from a few television series. 

Amavas also features Sachiin Joshi, Vivan Bhathena, Navneet Kaur Dhillon, Mona Singh and Ali Asgar in important roles.
