Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been in the news over his legal battle with his wife Aaliya Siddiqui. Now, reports are surfacing on the internet stating that the release of his forthcoming film, ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’ has been postponed. Produced by Kangana Ranaut, the film was scheduled to release earlier this year on an OTT platform.
As per a report in Bollywood Hungama, the streaming giant has decided to defer the release and has put the film on the back burner for the time being.
The report reads, 'Earlier this year Amazon Prime Video held a massive press conference where they announced a number of shows and films that were to release in 2023. Among them was the Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer Tiku Weds Sheru. Though there was no date, Prime Video did claim that the film would release this year. However, now looking at the issues Nawaz is facing, the streaming giant has decided to defer the release and put it on the back burner for the time being.'
It added, 'Before a film releases, there are promotions, be it a theatrical or OTT release. But with Nawaz finding himself in the eye of the storm, the OTT platform sees this as a hurdle and to avoid bad press which could damage the film, the decision was taken to postpone its release.'
Earlier, ETimes had reported how the actor was staying at a hotel while his wife Aaliya alleged that Nawaz’s family was ill-treating her at the actor’s palatial Andheri bungalow.
On the work front, besides ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’, Nawazuddin Siddiqui also has 'Haddi' in the pipeline. The film, directed by Akshat Ajay Sharma, will see Nawazuddin playing a transgender woman.
