Director Anees Bazmee’s long delayed psychological-thriller starring Ajay Devgn is ready for release on November 22. The film was earlier scheduled to release in 2022, however, got postponed indefinitely due to several issues. This was very much a surprise for audience as the announcement came from no where, that too amid the news of clash between Ajay’s Singham Again and Anees’ Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
Makers posted a poster of the movie along with a caption that read: AJAY DEVGN – ANEES BAZMEE: ‘NAAM’ TO RELEASE ON 22 NOV… ANNOUNCEMENT POSTER UNVEILS… #Naam – starring #AjayDevgn and directed by #AneesBazmee – to release in cinemas on 22 Nov 2024… Worldwide release by #PENMarudhar.
The film is produced by Roongta Entertainment and Snigdhaa Movies P Ltd and revolves around a man who loses his memory and goes on the journey of figuring out his identity. The film has been shot primarily in Switzerland and Mumbai. The film also stars Bhumika Chawla, who took over the role after replacing Priyanka Chopra and Sameera Reddy.
Fans React!
Since there was no buzz around the film, fans were left puzzled after the announcement. Taking to social media platforms like Instagram and X, several of them left hilarious comments to express their surprise. “Ye Movie khn se Aa gyi bhai 😂,” wrote one. Others commented, “Bhai yeh konsa naya naya film direct theater me aa raha hai? inka shooting kabhi start huya kabhi khatam”, “Yeh Wildcard entry kahan se aaya !!!??”, “LMAO 🤣🤣🤣They are clashing on Diwali and releasing a movie that they did together in the VERY SAME MONTH!

People also addressed the clash of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again. “Matlab Ajay Devgan is sabotaging Anees Bazmee film on 1st Nov and then they are gonna release a film together few days later? Who says there is no Unity in Bollywood ?! Just few month back Akshaye sabotaged his own KhelKhelMein and did Stree2 on same day,” commented one fan. Another wrote, “Ajay Devgan ne paani pher diya un idiots fans par jo singham Again aur bhool bhulaiya 3 ke pichhe ladai kar rahe hai. Jab ki Ajay Devgan to bhool bhulaiya 3 ke director ke sath hi film announcement kar chuke.”
