'Machine' release date advanced to March 17

The makers of the forthcoming coming film "Machine", starring Kiara Advani and debutant Mustafa, have decided to release it a week earlier than scheduled.

It was to release on March 24 but will now hit the screens on March 17, a statement said.

The film is said to be the launchpad for Mustafa, the son of director Abbas Burmawalla of Abbas-Mustan duo fame.

"Machine" is reported to be a love story with a twist, which is the signature style of the director duo who have given hits like "Baazigar", "Ajnabee", "Race" and "Race 2".
