Earlier this year, the team behind the film had said that it will have a March 22 release. However, as cases of COVID-19 began rising at alarming rate and eventually led to the deadly second wave of COVID-19 India, the film's release was pushed.

What is Looop Lapeta about?

The film is a remake of the 1998 German film, Run Lola Run which starred Franka Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu. It is about a woman who needs to secure 100,000 Deutschmarks in twenty minutes in order to save her partner's life.

The film plays in loops going over the events that transpire multiple times, but with Lola making different choices every time leading to different outcomes. Speaking of her journey playing the role of Savi in Looop Lapeta, Pannu wrote in an Instagram post, "I ran behind some films and some have just thankfully fallen in my lap. This (Loop Lapeta) being the latter I couldn’t be more grateful to these guys and the luck line in my palm. From entering the narration with the idea to say No, to leaving it with an immediate Yes, thanks to these gentlemen for hanging by a solid script and concept for years and being more sure of me being Savi than I was.”
