It has been a while since Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor shot for Mr And Mrs Mahi, and it's surprising that the film has not yet released.

But Producer Karan Johar and Director Sharan Sharma (Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl) seem to have finally locked a release date for this love story set against cricket.

After Pathaan, one waits to see John Abraham back in action mode.

He takes up a lead role in Tehran, which seems like a geopolitical thriller. It is directed by Arun Gopalan.

Yet another John Abraham starrer, The Diplomat was supposed to release in January, and even the poster says so.

But it has been pushed ahead though the final release date is yet to be announced.
