Gangster Vikas Dubey's biopic 'Bikroo Kanpur Gangster' postponed amid COVID-19 second wave

The film “Bikroo Kanpur Gangster” which is based on the real story of the encounter of the Gangster Vikas Dubey will now release on 2nd October 2021 on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. Significantly the movie was supposed to be released on 16th April 2021 but due to the rise of cases of the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, the team decided on changing the release date. The character of Vikas Dubey is played by the actor Nimai Bali.

Vikas Dubey was encountered last year in 2020, which was a hot



topic at that time and the makers decided to do a biopic on him. The film “Bikroo Kanpur Gangster” is written and directed by Neeraj Singh and produced by Ajay Pal Singh and CP Singh. The Director Neeraj Singh opened up about the reason for the delay in the film, he says, “due to covid 19 the film will now release on 2nd October 2021. The main reason behind this change in release date is that this movie will release in cinemas not on any OTT platform and because of covid 19 all the theatres were closed”.
