Vidyut Jammwal's 'Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2' gets new release date
What's the story
Hindi film Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2 Agni Pariksha now has a new release date! The Vidyut Jammwal starrer will hit the cinema halls on July 8, instead of its original June 17 slot. This might have been done to avoid a head-on clash with Ayushmann Khurrana's Doctor G and Abhimanyu Dassani-led Nikamma, both of which are releasing on June 17.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2 marks Jammwal's return to theaters after Commando 3 (2019). So, this is one of his most-awaited projects. Jammwal had announced the sequel back in June last year. A month after that he started filming for it. The project has been making the headlines ever since it was announced as the first installment Khuda Haafiz (2020) received fairly positive reviews.

Jammwal tweeted a video and captioned it, "He will fight for his family until his last breath. #KhudaHaafizChapterllAgniPariksha. In Cinemas on 08 July 2022."
