The release date of Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra's forthcoming film Jabariya Jodi has been rescheduled once again. The film, which was earlier slated to release on July 12, will now hit the screens on August 2. Film's producer Ekta Kapoor shared the big news on social media on Monday. In her post, Ekta cryptically hinted that she changed the film's release date in order to avoid clash with Hrithik Roshan's Super 30, which is slated to release on July 12 and Kangana Ranaut's Mental Hai Kya, which is scheduled to release on July 27 this year. Ekta Kapoor announced the news on social media and she wrote: "Zabardasti release date change karwaya (was forced to change the release date). I did not want release between two eclipses. So when too many releases came on that day, we moved to August 2. See you at theaters."

Meanwhile, the film's lead actor Sidharth Malhotra also shared the new release. "The surprise wedding of the year is set to arrive on August 2," he tweeted.
