Last year, Vikram Malhotra of Abundantia Entertainment, the co-producer of the series, said in an interview that it would go on floors by early 2022. ## However, with development yet, Akshay Kumar has now said that it is delayed to the next year as the makers are not happy with the screenplay.

Amazon was not satisfied, so we are still working on it and if everything goes well, we should start by next year's beginning", said Akshay during the media interaction.## Meanwhile, the actor is busy promoting his upcoming romantic action comedy film, "Bachchhan Paandey", which is slated to release in theaters on March 18.

While the first three movies will be released in theaters, "Cinderella", which is the remake of the Tamil movie "Ratsasan", is rumored to be releasing directly on Disney+Hotstar, later this year. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, March 11 - Warner Bros. has preponed the release date of its upcoming fantasy film "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" in India. ## The third installment in the Fantastic Beasts film series was supposed to release on April 15 with the USA release, but now, it will arrive a week early on April 8 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. ## The move to shift the release of the film early is understandable knowing the fact that the April second weekend will see India's one of the biggest films, "KGF - Chapter 2" hitting the big screens on April 14.

It follows Albus Dumbledore tasking Newt Scamander and his allies with a mission that takes them into the heart of dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald's army. ## Its ensemble cast includes Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Callum Turner, Jessica Williams, Katherine Waterston, and Mads Mikkelsen. Actor Johnny Depp, who played the lead in the previous two Fantastic Beasts movies, was replaced with Mikkelsen, following his legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard. ## Return to the magic a week early!
