It is yet another clash in Bollywood! Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh starrer Mister Mummy, which was initially slated to arrive in theaters on November 11, has now been postponed. The film will now release on November 18. This means that the film will lock horns with Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, and Akshaye Khanna-led mystery thriller Drishyam 2.
