Speaking to The Express Tribune earlier, the Lahore Se Aagay actor had shared the makers have been awaiting a green signal for the film from the Islamabad censor board, which they still haven't received, hence the delay in the release of the film. "We couldn't really promote the film because we are still awaiting the film to be cleared by the Islamabad censor board," he told the publication. 

"So, we have to delay the release till January, so we can do promotions in full-swing, followed by the film hitting the cinemas." Like Hussain, Omar too confirmed the news on social media. Taking to her Instagram stories, the Bulbulay star had commented, "Great decision, had to be done."
