Rhea Chakraborty’s film Chehre to get theatrical release, confirms Rumi Jaffrey

Rhea Chakraborty faced a dramatic year in 2020, right from the untimely demise of her actor boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput, social media trials to getting arrested under charges of procurement and consumption of drugs. 

She was granted bail in October and stayed away from the media lens for quite sometime. Recently, Rhea along with her brother Showik was spotted together for the first time after getting released from jail. The duo was reportedly house hunting as they are looking for a new house.

Filmmaker Rumi Jaffrey, who shared a close relationship with both Sushant and Rhea has opened up about the actress’ comeback into the showbiz and confirmed that her upcoming film Chehre will have a theatrical release.

In a recent interview, Rumi shared that Chehre starring Amitabh Bachchan, Emraan Hashmi and Rhea Chakraborty will be hitting the theatres in 2021.  "Anand Pandit (film's producer) has decided to pursue a theatrical release. We need to support the exhibitors," he told Mid Day.

The filmmaker further says that he is confident that Rhea will 'bounce back' once the film releases. The release date is yet to be locked.

"I am confident she will get through this phase. Everybody around will advise you to be brave, but only the one going through knows how difficult it is. Time is the best healer; with time, she will be fine. She is a talented artiste and will be ready to bounce back” Rumi added.

To conclude, Rumi also stated that Rhea should get a fair trial and he has the 'highest regard' for all those who stood by Rhea during the difficult time.
