“The call will be taken only after the situation gets back to normal. But it is definitely not arriving on May 1 now. 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 told Mumbai Mirror.

The makers of ‘Coolie No.1’ had to reschedule their trailer launch date due to the pandemic. The movie buffs will have to wait more to see their favourite stars on the silver screen.
