The release date of Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh’s upcoming romantic-drama, Gustaakh Ishq has got postponed. The film, which was earlier set to be released on November 21, will now come a week later on November 28, the makers announced on Wednesday.
The makers shared a motion poster featuring Vijay and Fatima to make the announcement. They wrote in caption, “Mark your calendars, ishq has a new date for y’all.”
Gustaakh Ishq has been directed by Vibhu Puri and unfolds as a poignant love story of passion and unspoken desire, set amidst the bylanes of Purani Dilli and the fading kothis of Punjab. Also starring Naseeruddin Shah, it has been produced by celebrity fashion designer Manish Malhotra along with his brother Dinesh Malhotra under their Stage5 Production banner.
Speaking about his foray as a producer with the film, Manish said earlier, “My love for cinema began in childhood. The silver screen was my doorway to the world, watching colours, clothes, music, and lifestyles unfold in cinema halls shaped my imagination and inspired me to become a designer. Today, stepping into film production feels like my way of giving back to the medium that has given me everything.”
The film boasts of music by Vishal Bhardwaj and lyrics by Gulzar. It would have earlier clashed with the adult-comedy, Mastii 4 and Farhan Akhtar's war-drama, 120 Bahadur, which are releasing on November 21. Now, with the new release date of November 28, Gustaakh Ishq will be coming alongside Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's Tere Ishk Mein.
