Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi's movie Pooja Meri Jaan was being considered for a theatrical release in November 2024. However, producer Dinesh Vijan has reportedly made a change in the plan. The producer also has Vicky Kaushal's film Chhaava lined up for a theatrical release in December this year. According to Mid-Day, the makers have decided to postpone the film's release to 2025. The postponement has apparently happened due to Chhaava's release on December 6, 2024.

Pooja Meri Jaan postponed to Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava?

A source told the tabloid that Pooja Meri Jaan is a special film for Dinesh Vijan. It is because the film belongs to a genre that Vijan's production hasn't explored so far. "He was looking for the right time to bring the film to cinemas and has finally slotted it for early 2025," a source added.

As per the report, Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava wasn't the only reason why Pooja Meri Jaan has been postponed. The makers also felt that the last quarter of 2024 is packed. Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are two big Bollywood releases in November 2024.

"On the first Friday of December, Vicky will bring Chhaava to the big screen. The team wants to do justice to the ambitious biopic, in terms of promotions and buzz. With Varun Dhawan’s Baby John coming on Christmas, Pooja Meri Jaan’s team felt it deserved breathing space," an insider told the tabloid.
