Ranveer Singh's Jayeshbhai Jordaar sets date for 13 May

After a number of delays and postponements, the Ranveer Singh-led Jayeshbhai Jordaar has finally set 13 May 2022 as the date for its theatrical release.

Directed by actor-director Divyang Thakkar, the film is backed by Maneesh Sharma and Yash Raj Films. Starring Ranveer Singh and South actress Shalini Pandey, who is making her debut in Hindi cinema, Jayeshbhai Jordaar also features Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah and Deeksha Joshi.

The producers made the announcement early today with Ranveer Singh in an eclectic announcement teaser.

Announced in 2019, the film features Ranveer Singh in the role of a Gujarati character with a social purpose. The film was initially scheduled for release on 2 October 2020. The date was then pushed to 27 August 2021 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was later rescheduled for release on 25 February 2022, which has now been changed again.

The announcement video features Ranveer Singh exhibiting his quirkiness in full as he plays every hero trope, from cowboy to superhero with even a take on Batman and the more recent phenomenon of Pushpa: The Rise (2021). The actor then points out that his film celebrates a different type of hero.

Jayeshbhai Jordaar will be streamed on Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical run.
