The release date for Ayushmann Khurrana's upcoming film 'Anek' has been pushed back to May 13, 2022. The film, directed by Anubhav Sinha, was originally scheduled to hit theatres on March 31. 

With a new film poster, the actor announced the new release date on his Instagram account. He wrote: It takes just ONE to make a difference. Time to unite as Ek! Jeetega Kaun?

'Anek,' billed as a spy thriller, is set in Northeast India's geopolitical backdrop. The film was shot in several locations throughout Northeast India, including Assam and Meghalaya's Shillong.

Last year, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha spoke about the film, saying,

It was a challenging film to write and a difficult one to make. We shot it in rough terrain but what makes it special is that the takeaway was so gratifying. It was a delight to work with Ayushmann again who with his depiction of Joshua breathed life into the story

It's only once in a while that an actor comes across a story that makes him jump out of his comfort zone. While I have always backed novel stories, 'Anek' pushed me to perform with a renewed zest. It's the kind of script that drives a person to give it your all. I am so proud that we've made a film like this and even more fortunate that I got the chance to headline it. I am thankful to Anubhav Sir for choosing me to tell this special story and Bhushan Sir to be the support system we needed in our journey. Seeing our passion project go out to the world is so heartening.
