The makers of the Hate Story franchise are back yet again with its fourth instalment.Hate Story 4 which is directed by Vishal Pandya stars Urvashi Rautela, Karan Wahi, Vivan Bhathena and Ihana Dhillon and is produced by T Series. After the wait of a long time, this erotic thriller has finally locked its release date.

Film critic and analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the release date and wrote, “#HateStoryIV, directed by Vishal Pandya and produced by T Series, to release on 9 March 2018... The erotic thriller stars Urvashi Rautela, Karan Wahi, Vivan Bhathena and Ihana Dhillon.”

Hate Story 4 isn’t the first film from 2018 that has been postponed. Aiyaary, Pari and Drive have suffered the similar fate of Hate Story 4 after the release date of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama Padmaavat was announced.

While earlier reports suggested that the film would be releasing on 9th February 2018, the recent announcement by the makers revealed that this Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor starrer would clash with Akshay Kumar’s Pad Man and would release on 25th January.

Neeraj Pandey’s Aiyaary which was previously going to release on 26th January 2018 postponed their release to 9th February and so did the makers of Anushka Sharma’s Pari who moved their release date from 9th February to 2nd March 2018.
