Atrangi Re Release: What You Should Know

The film was officially announced last year in January but saw multiple delays in production owing to the rise in COVID-19 cases and stars like Kumar contracting the virus. The original theatrical release date for Atrangi Re was set for February 14, 2021, marking Valentine's Day.

It is now getting a digital release on December 24.

Rai in an interview has said the film is close to his heart and "more than just a love triangle." All praises for Khan, he said the 26-year-old is a "cracker" in the film and fits the energy of the character she plays. Fans have especially loved Khan's usual poetic manner of introducing the 'atrangis' in the film.

"And now finally it’s time to meet Rinku💁🏻‍♀️ Give her all your love, and she will say thank you🥰🙏🏻 Bihar se aayi hai yeh chori 💃
And she is the heart of this Atrangi love story 💞💓💕," she wrote on social media, unveiling her look from Atrangi Re that shows her sporting contrasting identities.
