MUMBAI: Aamir Khan‘s much-awaited film Dhobi Ghat, directed by his wife Kiran Rao, will release on 25 February next year.

The film is about Mumbai‘s multicultural aspect and the life of a painter who has a temporary fling with an American women. The connecting link between the two is a dhobi. Besides Khan, the film also stars Pratiek Babbar along with Monica Dogra and Kriti Malhotra. While Khan plays a painter in the film, Babbar plays a dhobi.

The film has been in the news lately due to a legal case over the title when the Hindustan Kanojia Organisation of Dhobis chairman Vinod Kumar Kanojia tapped the Delhi High Court, demanding a change of title before its release in theatres.

The film was expected to release on Christmas this year but has been postponed till February next year.

The film premiered at the Toronto international film festival recently.
