'Fukrey' 3: Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma starrer gets new release date; avoids clash with 'Jawan'

The makers of 'Fukrey' announced a new release date for the third installment of the popular franchise on June 13.

The film’s production house Excel Entertainment made the announcement with a fun video. The tagline of the film reads, 'The Jugaadu boys are back.'

'Fukrey 3' will be directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba.

The movie, which was initially scheduled to release in theatres on September 7 along with Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Jawan' , will now hit the theatres on December 1.

'Fukrey 3' will not star Ali Fazal as Zafar as his dates were clashing with 'Mirzapur'.

In a statement, Ali said, 'Sorry saathiyon, iss baari nahi (Sorry guys, not this time).” He explained that “Zafar ko kabhi kabhi Guddu bhaiya banna padta hai. Aur do universes overlap ho jaate hain kabhi kabhi (Sometimes Zafar has to play Guddu bhaiya and sometimes, both universes overlap).'

On June 14, the first installment of the franchise clocked 10 years.
To mark the occasion, makers hosted a special screening of the film to relish the nostalgia.
