Rani Mukerji's much awaited film "Hichki" will now hit the screens on March 23. The film was earlier supposed to release on February 23.

The marketing and distribution team took the decision to shift the release keeping in mind the post exam scenario for students and families.

'Hichki' is an out and out family movie that will entertain audiences across all age groups. The YRF team decided that 23 March, 2018 is the best release date for 'Hichki' especially given the post exam scenario for students and families - the most relevant TG for this film," producer Maneesh Sharma said in a statement.

Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, the movie features Rani as Naina Mathur who has a nervous system disorder, Tourette Syndrome, that forces an individual to make involuntary repetitive movements or sounds.

The film focuses on turning disadvantages into opportunities and staring down at challenges that life throws at one and ultimately winning over them.
