Akshay Kumar starrer Joker to release on 30 Aug
MUMBAI: The Shirish Kunder-directed Akshay Kumar-Sonakshi Sinha starrer fantasy-adventure Joker will release on 30 August next year.
Confirming the release date, Kunder said, “We have finalised on the date of release on 30 August next year. In all, we have around five days of shooting left that we would be completing in November. Post that, we would be working on VFX and 3D for around six months and then the last couple of months would go for an all around promotional campaign.”
Joker had gone on floors early this year.
The development goes to show that Akshay Kumar would have a film of his releasing almost every second month starting April next year. While Housefull 2 (April) would be first to arrive, Rowdy Rathore (June), Joker (August) and Khiladi 786 – Made In Punjab (November) would follow.
