Saif Ali Khan's Laal Kaptaan Is Not Releasing On September 6 Anymore - Here's Why
There have been a lot of changes in the dates of other movies, which is why Laal Kaptaan is being moved too from its original release date of September 6
Saif Ali Khan's Laal Kaptaan is one of the most-awaited films considering he is playing a Naga Saadhu in the action-adventure drama, which has been directed by Navdeep Singh. The first look poster of the film was dropped a few months back and it only upped all the excitement. However, looks like we will have to wait a little longer to see this film. While the movie was scheduled to release on September 6 this year, but as per latest development, that is not happening anymore.
According to Pinkvilla, there have been a lot of changes in the dates of other movies, which is why Laal Kaptaan is being moved too from its original release date of September 6. "Suddenly, there's been a lot of rejigging in the dates. Especially around August-September. Initially, Saaho was supposed to release on Independence Day along with Mission Mangal and Batla House. But now, it's been moved to August 30. That also has caused another shift. Nitesh Tiwari's Chhichhore will now hit screens mostly on September 6 and if that happens, Aanand L Rai won't clash with that project for sure at the box office. They won't get enough screens to release Lal Kaptaan," an insider was quoted by the entertainment portal.

Another reason is that the film has not been shot fully yet. The report further reads that Saif is yet to shoot some portions of Laal Kaptaan, which he will do around mid-August as that's when he comes back from London where he is shooting for his other film, Jawaani Jaaneman. "A little bit of patchwork is left to be shot. They realised it while on the edit table. But Saif is currently in London shooting for another film Jawaani Jaaneman. He returns to the city only around mid-August post which they will complete filming those portions again. The film has shaped up really well and is being touted as one of Saif's finest performances till the date. That's why the makers are willing to delay it a bit but not compromise on the quality," the source added.
Well, it's really sad that we will have to wait for a little longer to watch Laal Kaptaan, but we are sure that the wait is definitely going to be worth it.
