The situation is deeply tragic and we need to stand together as one nation. Cultural and social exchanges in the wake of this atrocity are unwarranted,” director Abhishek Chaubey told Firstpost exclusively. Sonchiriya also stars Bhumi Pednekar, Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey and Ashutosh Rana in pivotal roles. Initially scheduled to hit cinemas on 8 February, it has now been postponed to 1 March . On Monjay, Devgn also announced the decision to not release upcoming comedy Total Dhamaal in Pakistan . He wrote, “In light of the current situation, the team of Total Dhamaal has decided to not release the film in Pakistan.” In one of the  deadliest terror attacks  in Jammu and Kashmir’s three decades of militancy, a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) bus in Pulwama district, killing 44 personnel and leaving many critically wounded.
