The West Bengal film ‘Bhokatta’ was due to be released on June 21. But since there was a lack of availability of cinema halls the release got pushed back to June 28.
The chief of Shapla Media Selim Khan says, “The film couldn’t be relapsed when it was supposed to. We tried our best but it wasn’t possible. As the films released on Eid are still being screened at the cinema halls we couldn’t acquire any venue to launch the film. But we are planning to release the film on Friday.”
The film is going to be released in West Bengal on the same date. That means the Kolkata film is getting released in both Bangladesh and West Bengal at the same time even though before the case was such that when the film got released in West Bengal it took sometime before it came to Bangladesh.
Om Sahani and Elina played the leading roles in the film which has been directed by Ramesh Raut. Eskay Movies in collaboration with an Odishan production house made the film. It got released in Odisha about a year back.
On the other hand, the film ’Boyfriend’ directed by Uttam Akash has been exported in exchange of this film. But, when that will be released in West Bengal has not yet been confirmed. Sources in Eskay Movies have also failed to provide an approximate date of release.
