After years of uncertainty, Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi-starrer Pooja Meri Jaan has finally found its release platform. The long-delayed thriller will premiere on ZEE5, bringing an end to the four-year wait that left both the film’s makers and fans wondering if it would ever see the light of day.
Although the streaming date is yet to be announced, ZEE5 confirmed the film as part of its upcoming slate during its content showcase on Sunday. The platform also revealed that Vaani Kapoor’s Sarvgunn Sampann will be among its upcoming releases.
Pooja Meri Jaan Finally Secures An OTT Release
Directed by Navjot Gulati, Pooja Meri Jaan completed filming in 2022 but remained unreleased after its original streaming deal with JioCinema reportedly collapsed following the platform’s merger with Disney+ Hotstar.
The prolonged delay pushed the project into uncertainty until ZEE5 stepped in to acquire the film.
While an exact premiere date has not been revealed, the announcement confirms that audiences will finally get to watch the thriller in the coming months.
Director Navjot Gulati Had Spoken About The Delay
Earlier this year, director Navjot Gulati publicly expressed his frustration over the film’s uncertain future.
In an emotional interview, Gulati revealed that his father had asked him about the film’s release while on his deathbed—a question he was unable to answer because there was no clarity regarding its future.
The filmmaker also claimed that repeated attempts to reach the producers reportedly went unanswered, adding that the prolonged delay negatively affected his career as filmmakers were hesitant to collaborate with a director whose debut film remained unreleased.
