Imtiaz Ali is set to release his film Main Vaapas Aaunga, starring Sharvari, Vedang Raina, Diljit Dosanjh, and Naseeruddin Shah. The film is scheduled to release on June 12, clashing with Bharat Bhagya Vidhata starring Kangana Ranaut, Governor: The Silent Saviour, and Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past.
Imtiaz Ali has expressed that he had announced his film's release date first, but the makers of other films later announced their projects on the same date.
Speaking to the Free Press Journal, Imtiaz Ali said, 'These things are not in control. We announced first. Usually, in the film industry, there's a kind of bhaichara like 'meri film aarahi hai toh tu mat aa, next baar aaja' and that kind of thing, and it usually works.'
Main Vaapas Aaunga is a layered love story unfolding across the present and the past, set against the backdrop of the Partition era. The film's trailer showcases an ailing Naseeruddin Shah narrating his unfinished love story with Sharvari's character to Diljit Dosanjh's character.
Imtiaz Ali spoke about the emotional core of the film, saying, 'What have we left behind? What is the love that we carried in our hearts when we crossed the river of time?'
Bharat Bhagya Vidhata will showcase the heroism of hospital staff during a terror attack, while Governor: The Silent Saviour is a political-economic thriller starring Manoj Bajpayee as an RBI Governor tasked with saving India from bankruptcy during the 1990s economic crisis.
