Sunny Deol's 'Gabru' delayed; won't release on May 8: Report
What's the story
Sunny Deol's upcoming film Gabru has been postponed from its May 8 release date, reported Bollywood Hungama. A source told the outlet, "The makers plan to lock the new release date in a few days, after which they'll make an official announcement." This delay comes after a previous postponement from its original March 13 release date, when it was likely pushed due to Ramadan and competition with Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

Salman Khan also a part of 'Gabru'
Gabru, directed by Shashank Udapurkar and produced by Vishal Rana, features an extended cameo by Salman Khan. The actor reportedly shot for his part over a year ago. A source had earlier told Bollywood Hungama, "There was a requirement of a star, and the makers knew that Salman Khan fit the bill completely." "Salman was approached, and he loved the part and its contribution to the film."
