Meanwhile, 'Laal Singh Chaddha' has been postponed multiple times first due to covid, then to avoid a big clash with Yash blockbuster movie 'KGF 2'. So, it will be interesting to see if one of the stars will postpone the movie to avoid the big clash, will miss the big weekend or they both decide to stick to the same date and will leave everything to the audience. 

Aamir's movie went on floors back in October 2019 and finished its production last year in September almost two years after starting it. The film reunites Aamir and Kareena Kapoor Khan, who last worked together in '3 Idiots'. Apart from Kareena, Mona Singh, Naga Chaitanya

will also be seen in the movie. Meanwhile, 'Raksha Bandhan' reunites director Aanand L Rai with Akshay after 'Atrangi Re' and co-star Bhumi Pednekar after 'Toilet - ek prem Katha'.
