Mausam, Pankaj Kapur's much-awaited film starring Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor, will release on September 23rd now instead of September 16th.
Earlier, the Indian Air Force (IAF) withheld a No Objection Certificate (NOC) objecting to an action sequence in the film. Without the NOC, the Censor Board was unlikely to clear the film.
Shahid Kapoor was in Delhi today (September 14) holding a special screening for all IAF officials to work around their objections.
"Going to IAF tomorrow in Delhi to show them Mausam ... Fingers crossed and hoping for the best..," the actor tweeted Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Mausam was pulled from the Toronto Film Festival line-up, a day before it was to premiere. Organisers said they were informed by the studio that the film had not received regulatory approvals in India in time to screen the film this week in Toronto.
Despite the faceoff with the IAF, the film received a breather earlier this week when the Censor Board gave a green signal for release.
This was confirmed by Shahid Kapoor who tweeted: "MAUSAM finally got its censor certificate last night ....... Watching it now with family in a bit."
With the IAF clearance finally coming through, the actors and makers of Mausam can now look forward to its release.
"Mausam is confirmed to release on 23rd of September, IAF clearance and censor done," Shahid Kapoor tweeted.
