Farhan Akhtar and Diana Penty

Even though his last film ‘Rock On 2’ tanked at the box office, Farhan Akhtar is quite enthusiastic about his upcoming film ‘Lucknow Central’. The film that was much in talks because of the confusion over the leading stars of the film, has finally got a release date.

As per reports, ‘Lucknow Central’ will make it to the theatres on September 15, 2017. It is being helmed by debutant director Ranjit Tiwari, who has earlier assisted Nikhil Advani on various projects. ‘Lucknow Central’ is based on the life of a man from a small-town who lands up in jail because of certain reasons. It is a light-hearted comedy film.

Nikhil Advani quoted to a news agency, “We are extremely excited about this project as it’s a very unique concept set against the backdrop of a jail and its inmates. The stellar ensemble cast adds further charm and intrigue to the film and we can’t wait to bring this captivating drama to the viewers.”
