The actor hasn’t talked about the film’s release date yet but the grapevine is already abuzz with the strong speculations of him deciding on to make Lal Singh Chaddha a big Diwali release next year.

We have bought the rights from Paramount… I am playing the lead role of Lal Singh.”

So, Diwali 2020 it is!
