The theatrical release of 'Bhool Chuk Maaf', starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, has been cancelled after heightened security drills across India. The announcement, which was made by its makers a day ahead of the release, followed India's Operation Sindoor targeting terror camps in Pakistan. The film will now premiere on OTT.
Maddock Films, 'Bhook Chuk Maaf's' official production house, released the statement a day ahead of its release on May 9. It read, "In light of recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation, we at Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios have decided to bring our family entertainer, Bhool Chuk Maaf, directly to your homes on May 16—only on Prime Video, worldwide. While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating this film with you in theaters, the spirit of the nation comes first. JAI HIND (sic)."

The heartwarming romantic comedy directed and written by Karan Sharma, co-stars Wamiqa Gabbi. It promises a delightful mix of charm, chaos, and small-town romance.
