Mumbai, Aug 24 (IBNS): The release date of actress Kajol starrer upcoming Hindi film Helicopter Eela has been deferred by the movie makers.

The film, which was earlier slated for Sept 7 release, will now hit the big screens on Oct 12.

Film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted, "New release date for #HelicopterEela: 12 Oct 2018... Since director Pradeep Sarkar is diagnosed with dengue, Ajay Devgn has taken a decision to resume work on the film after Sarkar is discharged from hospital... Ajay Devgn and Jayantilal Gada have now shifted the film to 12 Oct."

Apart from Kajol, Helicopter Eela stars national award winning actor Riddhi Sen.

Kajol, who is returning to Hindi films after three years, will be seen playing the role of a single mother in Helicopter Eela.
