Confirmed! Makers announce 'Doctor G' release date with new posters
Doctor G finally has a release date! After being stuck in limbo for several months, Ayushmann Khurrana's Doctor G will finally release on October 14, the makers announced on Monday (September 19). The film also stars Rakul Preet Singh and Shefali Shah in key roles. Produced by Junglee Pictures, the medical drama marks the debut of director Anubhuti Kashyap, filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap's sister.
Why does this story matter?
Doctor G was initially supposed to release on June 17 but was marred by repeated delays caused by COVID-19 and other factors. This is the first time that Khurrana and Rakul Preet Singh have worked together. It's also Khurrana's third outing with Junglee Pictures after Bareilly Ki Barfi and Badhaai Ho. Doctor G, thus, is expected to mark a successful hat-trick for Khurrana.
Fans can't wait to watch 'Doctor G' on big screens
Khurrana took to social media to announce the release date. Sharing two posters, he wrote, "ZindaGi hai inki full of Googly. Chahiye tha Orthopedics, par ban gaye DoctorG." The actor's post has received an enthusiastic response from several fans, who said they can't wait to watch the social comedy due to the "novelty" in the content. One such cinephile wrote, "Finally, the savior is here."
