I am looking for the right date to release my film: Aditya Lakhia

Amidst the lockdown, when all Gujarati filmmakers are waiting for things to get back to normal, those who have had their films ready are now planning a new strategy for their film’s release. Aditya Lakhia, whose film Khape has been ready, has applied for the National Award and also sent his film to several national and international film festivals like Cannes Film Festival, is now waiting for the right dates to release his film.
Talking about it, Aditya, who has been part of some iconic Hindi films like Lagaan says, “We had sent our film for the National Awards and we were waiting for the announcement before deciding on the release date. But now that everything will be delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are planning for newer dates. We have waited for a long time to release our film as we wanted to showcase it in certain film festivals first. So, we would like to continue looking for the rights dates and not rush into releasing it as there is a lot riding on the film.”
The global pandemic has affected the entertainment industry in a big way and it is sure to impact the Gujarati film industry as well. “We know that this situation has made things very difficult for the entertainment industry as huge financial losses are expected, but we are sure of our film and we will ensure it gets a good release.”
