A report in a leading daily had earlier suggested that ‘Coolie No.1’ would release in the second half of 2020.

“The call will be taken only after the situation gets back to normal. Maybe June, July or even later, depending on when the scare subsides. The producers of all the big films will come together to chalk out a release calendar for the second half of 2020,” a source close to the film was quoted as saying by Mumbai Mirror.

‘Coolie No.1’ is the remake of Govinda and Karisma Kapoor’s film of the same name. The cast and crew of the much-awaited movie had wrapped up shoot in March 2020.
