John Abraham has shifted the date of his upcoming comedy film Pagalpanti alongside an ensemble cast comprising Ileana D’Cruz, Anil Kapoor, and Arshad Warsi. The film, which was earlier clashing with Nikkhil Advani produced Marjaavan, will now be releasing at a later date. Marjaavan is a thriller film with Sidharth Malhotra in the lead role, and Riteish Deshmukh as the antagonist. John Abraham said about the reason that he and his producers both agreed to shift the release date of Pagalpanti, and make way for Marjaavan–

Milap is a grounded boy and a wonderful writer while Nikkhil is a good, solid man for whom friendship is non-negotiable. I have worked with directors who have moved on, but Nikkhil understands loyalty and will work with you irrespective of how a film fares. It’s important for all of us that Marjaavan works.

Director Milap Zaveri thanked John Abraham for his generous move, clearing the date of November 8 for the film’s solo release.
