MUMBAI: Viacom18 Motion Pictures has decided that its upcoming film Loot will be released in Bihar two-days prior to its nationwide release.

The Suniel Shetty, Govinda, Javed Jaffri-starrer Loot is scheduled to release all over on 4 November, while in Bihar it will now release on 2 November as a special gesture for filmgoers of Bihar on the occasion of Chatt Pooja.

Film director Rajnish Thakur said, "I am also from Patna, I know the importance of Chatt Pooja in North India. I think releasing the film on the auspicious day will bring good luck to my film."

Loot is a tale of four extremely unskilled crooks (Shetty, Govinda, Jafferi and Mahakshay) who are out to steal precious jewels from Bangkok. Notorious for their inefficiency; the foursome are in for more trouble than what they preempt.

The film, made by Popcorn Motion Pictures & Production, is being released by Viacom18 Motion Pictures.
