The script was scheduled to be released at the WBFJA Awards on January 16 to mark Ray's birth centenary, but it had to be cancelled because of the surge in COVID-19 cases, he said.

"We will wait for an appropriate occasion for the release, preferably the award ceremony to be held when the situation becomes conducive. But certainly, we wish this can be done on the centenary year," Dhar said.
