Q3. What could be the potential release date of 83? Unknown

Answer - Once cinema halls open in India, 83 will be the second significant release after Sooryavanshi. The film is all set and ready and only the promotional part is left. Once, theaters get opened film should get released in 3-4 weeks time. The question is when cinema halls will open now. Chances of cinema hall opening in April at this moment is only 0 to 5%. Logic says cinema halls will open in some time in May 2020 and 83 should be released in theaters in some time in June 2020. Anything before that will be a highly optimistic thought.
