However, according to reports from Pinkvilla, the family drama directed by Anil Sharma will not be releasing on its scheduled date. The shooting of the movie is pushed back for a couple of months and hence, Apne 2 is now expected to be released in the year 2022. The postponement of Apne 2 has dodged the clash between Jersey starring Shahid Kapoor.

Apne 2's script is still being written which is why the makers of the film have decided to go against the plan of releasing the movie later this year to postponing it until mid-2022. Due to the appreciation and love shown towards Apne, director Anil Sharma and actor Bobby Deol are working together to 'fine-tune the script' and other elements of the movie, according to the reports from Pinkvilla.
