The release of Kangana Ranaut’s Mental Hai Kya has been postponed as the film will now hit screens in May instead of March 29, a leading daily reports. The film has been delayed as Kangana requested the makers to do so in order to allow a “breather” between the release of her last film Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi and Mental Hai Kya.
Kangana has been juggling a hectic schedule due to the promotions of Manikarnika and if Mental Hai Kya would release in March, she would have to commence promotional duties immediately which she wasn’t keen on doing.

"After the success of Manikarnika, Kangana wanted to space out her next film. Mental Hai Kya was coming exactly two months after Manikarnika's release, which implied that she would have to immediately dive into the film's promotions. She requested the makers for a breather as the period drama had taken a toll on her,” a source was quoted as saying by the daily.

Makers of Mental Hai Kya have reportedly agreed to push the film to May as patchwork shoot is pending. However, the release date has not been finalized as yet. "Kangana had reassigned some of her dates to Manikarnika since she had to reshoot portions of the period drama. As a result, a part of the patchwork shoot is remaining. The makers, therefore, decided that it would be best to push the release to May. However, they are yet to zero in on a date,” the source added.
Mental Hai Kya stars Rajkummar Rao opposite Kangana Ranaut. It is written by Kanika Dhillon and directed by National award-winning director Prakash Kovelmudi, who has helmed south films such as Anaganaga O Dheerudu and Size Zero.
