Rohit Shetty clears the air about Circkus release date

Of late there have been speculations that Rohit Shetty directorial Cirkus starring Ranveer Singh will be releasing on July 15 this year. However, in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Rohit said, “We have not announced the release date for Cirkus. It’s speculation that we are releasing in theatres on July 15, 2022. We are still considering the date and will announce it soon when we get the right one. I could have announced Cirkus on any date as I was the first person who knew that the theatres are going to open but I felt that one needs to also give other producers a chance too, for six-seven months. Cirkus is ready (the last schedule was completed earlier this month). Too much of movies overlapping, is also not good for the film industry and there is a lot of backlog of films (including RRR, Runway 34, Gangubai Kathiawadi) for two years so let them release first and then I will come. I will not come before July-August for sure so that other producers will get at least six-months' space”.

YOU have to be the leader and driver of your own emotions…. The toxicity around you is sometimes a result of various aspects but it’s certain not the TRUTH! If you believe what you hear and read then you need to change your Lens and vision ( Pun intended) ….. believe in YOU! Only you have the power to combat the negativity and pave your own path! Destiny is your friend Never believe otherwise … so makes no excuses against her! She exists to celebrate you and never negate you! FREE WILL has the power to combat all predictions and calculations! Your success is your story to tell! And you will tell it when you follow a path with the only voice that’s screaming at you but you rarely listen to it! YOURS! Your voice of instinct! Make 2022 your year and the rest will fall into place! My loved ones send you so much love and I join in in saying! The year will come with its own hurdles you be the Neeraj Chopra of your life! Throw the javelin of strength and resilience back and the stage is all yours.!! Love and light Always!”
