MUMBAI: Atul Agnihotri’s film Hello, which is based on Chetan Bhagat’s bestseller One Night @ the Call Center will not be releasing on 12 October as scheduled. According to information available with Businessofcinema.com, the movie will now release in December this year.

Agnihotri, who is directing the film confirms, “We are still left with nine days of shooting schedule and have decided to release the film at a later date. However, the exact date is still being worked out.” 

Sharman Joshi, who plays the lead role Shyam in the film, further adds, “The film is way different from my act in the soon to be released Dhol. I play Shyam, who is down-to-earth and labeled as a loser by his girlfriend’s mother. I am sure the character would be equally interesting as the book showcases.”

Hello also stars Sohail Khan, Ishaa Koppikar, Amrita Arora, Gul Panag, Sharat Saxena and Dalip Tahil. The film has a special appearance by Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif.
