Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's Bhool Chuk Maaf faced several hurdles amid the ongoing border tensions between India and Pakistan. The film, directed by Karan Sharma, was initially scheduled to release in theatres on May 9, 2025. However, the makers decided to skip the theatrical release and premiere the movie directly on OTT. This decision prompted multiplex chain PVR-Inox to file a legal case against them, demanding INR 60 crore for breach of contract. Amid this, it was revealed that the makers have now cancelled Bhool Chuk Maaf's OTT premiere, opting for a traditional theatrical release. ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’: PVR Inox Sues Makers of Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s Film After Cancellation of Theatrical Release Amid India-Pakistan Conflict – Reports.
