Here's how Ranveer Singh made the release date announcement for '83:
When theatres were shut during the pandemic induced lockdown, several big Bollywood movies released on OTT platforms but '83 turned out to be one of the first Bollywood films, whose makers officially announced that they will release it in theatres post-lockdown. With a release date in June, '83 joins the league of films that were awaiting the green light from the Ministry Of Information And Broadcasting, which finally allowed cinema halls across the country to operate at full capacity from February 1, however, keeping COVID-19 safety protocols in place.
Apart from '83, Ranveer Singh's list of upcoming movies also include Cirkus and Jayeshbhai Jordaar, which is scheduled for August 27.
