Kangana Ranaut and Rajkummar Rao starrer Mental Hai Kya had been surrounded by multiple controversies for the longest time. The film has been hit hard for its title as well as for its release date a number of times before. While Kangana’s sister Rangoli shut the mouths when the controversy related to the film’s title arose, this time it is filmmaker Ekta Kapoor who has released a statement regarding the new release date.

Taking to her social media, Ekta Kapoor shared a picture which reads,  “The shift in the release date is a decision taken after recommendations from the distributors, trade analysts and a top research team, keeping in mind the other releases a week before and after this date. We have thus been advised to shift the release of our movie to 26th July, purely for business prospects. On knowing that there is already a movie scheduled for a release on that date, we did everything in our purview to ensure the other parties that there will be no mud slinging and it will be a dignified release. We stand by assuring that to all other parties.”
