Rasha Thadani, Abhay Verma’s Laikey Laikaa release pushed to February 2027
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
The delay is as per reports linked to the makers’ decision to add a special song featuring Rasha, inspired by the success of her dance number 'Uyi Amma' from Azaad.
Adding to this, According to a source close to the project, the decision is linked to the response Rasha received for her dance performance in ‘ Uyi Amma ’, a song from her debut movie Azaad , which rolled out in 2025. The track became popular soon after its rollout and helped bring attention to Rasha’s dancing abilities.
Meanwhile, Explaining the reason behind the decision, the source told HT City, “‘ Uui Amma ’ had worked tremendously for Rasha and proved her dancing skills. Since her character in Laikey Laikaa is that of a dancer, the makers felt they should utilise Rasha in a special song. Since they have decided to include this, they are also pushing the rollout to February 2027. It will anyway be a romantic month (given Valentine's Day), so the timing works well for a movie like this,” shared the source.
Notably, Laikey Laikaa was initially planned as a summer 2026 rollout and marks the first on-screen pairing of Rasha and Abhay. The movie is being presented as an intense romantic story, with further details about its plot and the soon-to-release song currently being kept under wraps.
As per the latest buzz, The new song is expected to add another dance-focused moment for Rasha, following the attention generated by ‘ Uyi Amma ’. The makers are also looking to take advantage of February’s association with romance and Valentine’s Day for the movie’s theatrical rollout.
In further updates, Meanwhile, Abhay Verma was of late seen in the OTT series Operation Safed Sagar: The Untold Story of the Kargil War. Rasha also made her Telugu acting debut with Srinivasa Mangapuram , which rolled out in cinemas earlier this year.
