“We are not compromising on the dubbing quality in various languages. We want to make it sound and feel as authentically native as possible in every language,” Sithara Entertainments, the production house behind Lucky Baskhar, said in a statement.

“Being a multilingual film and grand pan-India release, we need more time to achieve the quality we aspire to. With a heavy heart, we have decided to postpone the film,” the statement further said.

Set in the 1980s, the film is a financial thriller with Dulquer Salmaan playing an ordinary bank cashier. Navin Nooli is the editor while Nimish Ravi is the cinematographer.
