We all know that
Vidya Balan’s Tumhari Sulu which was slated to release on December
1, 2017 is now hitting the theatres
on November 24. Now, as per

A source told a
leading daily, “We had announced our release date months ago. Now, suddenly
they [Padmavati's makers] postpone their film by two weeks with no thought to
our inconvenience. The initial response was to take them on. But then, we
decided to not ruin our chances, or theirs. We will come on a different date.”
Even Umesh Shulka,
the director of the film, confirmed the news.
102 Not Out is
based on Saumya Joshi’s Gujarati play and features Big B and Rishi Kapoor. The
duo last worked together in 1991 in Ajooba, which was directed by Shashi Kapoor
and Gennadi Vasilyev. However, they have worked together in a number of cult
films like Amar Akbar Anthony, Kabhie Kabhie and Coolie- all of them were
directed by Manmohan Desai.
