Ranveer, Shalini Pandey, Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah starrer Jayeshbhai Jordaar will be releasing August 27, 2021.  Moreover, YRF’s period drama Prithviraj which will mark Manushi’s big Bollywood debut will have a Diwali release on November 5 this year. The film that was announced in September 2019, was originally slated for a Diwali 2020 release but was delayed owing to the pandemic. The team even completed shooting a major portion before the lockdown, but couldn’t proceed with the shoot until late last year. Notably, the film will clash with Shahid Kapoor’s sports flick ‘Jersey’. Shahid, on the other hand, had picked the Diwali 2021 release in January and made the official announcement on his Instagram handle. “JERSEY releasing in theatres this DIWALI 5th November 2021.The triumph of the human spirit. A journey I am so very proud of. This one’s for the TEAM ....” he wrote in an Instagram post.
