Initially, the film was all set to release on June 5, 2020. Later on, it was announced that the film will directly get an OTT release. Finally, now it is being said that the film will hit the big screens in March 2021. Though films like Suraj Pe Mangal Bhaari, Ramprasad ki Tehrvi, and Madam Chief Minister have released earlier in the time of the pandemic they were all allowed to screen under the 50% capacity of theatres. However, Roohi Afzana will be the first major Hindi film to release at 100% capacity.

It is rumored that Roohi Afzana will take forward the story of Stree. Pankaj Tripathi, Varun Sharma, Seema Pahwa, and Ronit Roy are also a part of the cast of the film. The film is directed by Hardik Mehta and written by Hussain Dalal. Hardik Mehta debuted in Bollywood with Sanjay Mishra's Kamyaab which was produced under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment.

Janhvi Kapoor's movies are continuously hitting the bullseye since her debut with Dhadak. Her recent Netflix release, Gunjan Saxena; The Kargil Girl was also highly praised by everyone. Janhvi Kapoor is also rumored to star in Dostana 2. Rajkummar Rao's movies have rarely disappointed us. His 2020 films like Chhalaang and Ludo were a huge hit. His recent Netflix release, The White Tiger is also highly acclaimed by critics.
