Due to the ever-increasing coronavirus cases in the country, several filmmakers are putting a stop/delaying the release of their films. Recently, Bunty Aur Babli 2, Haathi Mere Saathi, Flight and a few other films have been postponed due to the coronavirus. And now, joining the league is Emraan Hashmi, Amitabh Bachchan's Chehre. Yes, you read that right. The mystery-thriller movie's release date has been indefinitely postponed due to the rising COVID-19 cases. Emraan Hashmi took to his Twitter handle and shared an official statement by the team of Chehre. It read thus, "The well-being of our very own audience is of utmost importance to us.
