The theatrical release of Kangana Ranaut's action entertainer Dhaakad (2022) has now been pushed back to 27 May 2022.

Filming for Dhaakad, which has been shot in Budapest in Hungary and in Madhya Pradesh, began in 2019 and the film was originally expected to hit the screens in time for Diwali 2020.

Sharing pictures from the film with the announcement, Ranaut wrote, "The unstoppable force of Agent Agni is fast approaching!"
