Nimrat Kaur is making her comeback in films after a long time with Anand L Rai’s upcoming film ‘Atrangi Re’ along with Dhanush, Sara Ali Khan, and Akshay Kumar.

Produced by T-Series, Colour Yellow Productions and Cape of Good Films, it was wrapped up in December 2020 and originally scheduled for worldwide release on 14 February 2021 in theatres, coinciding with

Valentine's Day. However, it was indefinitely pushed due to post-production delays owing to COVID-19 pandemic in India.
