Trailer launch of ’83’ paused due to coronavirus scare?

Coronavirus has been affecting everyone and everything on a global scale. And although India haven’t registered a large amount of patients suffering from the disease, the concern remains. Holi celebrations have been cancelled across the country and people have been advised to avoid mass gatherings.

There have also been speculations that upcoming films releases might be affected due to the virus. Although nothing is confirmed yet, a source say the much-awaited trailer launch of ‘’83’ has been cancelled, Bollywood Hungama.

The makers had apparently planned a grand trailer launch at Mumbai’s MMRDA Grounds on 11th March. The lead stars of the film, including Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and director Kabir Khan were also expected to be present.

The source says, “The trailer launch will not take place on March 11. It was supposed to be a grand spectacle – not just the film’s team and cricketers, but even fans were to be called in. In such times, it was not advisable to have such sort of a crowded event. The producers, hence, took a joint decision in the interest of the cast and crew and also the fans.”

The source concluded, “The trailer, most probably, will come at a later date now. Whether to do a launch event or not is something the makers will decide on soon.”
