"All the major release dates this year are already taken. So we've reserved January 26, 2017 as the release date for Kaabil. We are in no hurry to release our film."

Directed by Sanjay Gupta, the movie, which will also star Yami Gautam and Sonu Sood, is scheduled to go on floors in March 2016. The film will be shot from start to finish in one go at a studio in Mumbai.

Sounds exciting right? It gets better! The Republic Day release spot has already booked by T Series for the release of their action entertainer, Baadshaho starring Ajay Devgn. Directed by Milan Luthria, Baadshaho goes on floor in June this year.
