National Film Award-winning filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming period drama Rangoon will release on February 24 next year.

The film, which stars Shahid Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut and Saif Ali Khan, is set in the 1940s amidst India’s independence struggle.

The film wrapped its final shoot schedule a couple of weeks ago and the entire team, including Bhardwaj, producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Ajit Andhare, COO, Viacom18 Motion Pictures, are delighted with the results.

“I am very happy with what we have achieved during the shooting of Rangoon. This film is closest to my heart and I want to make sure this is seen as my best work,” Bhardwaj said in a statement.

“Given that it’s Shahid’s birthday on 25th February, there is no better way to celebrate,” Bhardwaj added.

“Seeing the confidence and excitement in the team of Rangoon, looks like we have much to expect in early 2017,” he said.
