Mumbai, Sep 25 (IANS) Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's "Mere Pyare Prime Minister", which was earlier slated for an October 2 release, will now hit the screens on December 14.
"It's a better window for a theatrical," Mehra told IANS when asked about the reason for pushing the release ahead.
Mehra was earlier excited about the October 2 date as it was Gandhi Jayanti, observed in memory of Mahatma Gandhi who has inspired the movie.
