MUMBAI: The release date of Celina Jaitley's comeback film, which has been presented as a tribute to late Bengali filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, has finally been locked as April 15, the day of Poila Boishak or Bengali New Year.

Author-filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee's Hindi language film, titled "A Tribute To Rituparno Ghosh: Season's Greetings", was earlier slated to open last year post Diwali. It will now premiere on the digital platform ZEE5 mid April.

"Poila Baishak (Bengali New Year) is an auspicious day for us, and since the film is set in Kolkata and pays tribute to Bengal's most loved filmmaker, this is the best time to release the film," said Mukherjee.
