Overview
- Phantom originally slated Laikey Laikaa for Summer 2026 but industry reports in late August say the release has been moved to February 2027 to accommodate a new song and a Valentine’s-themed rollout.
- The film has finished principal photography and is in post-production, and multiple outlets report that makers now plan to shoot a separate solo dance number for Rasha Thadani.
- News outlets cite the runaway success of Thadani’s song 'Uyi Amma'—reported to have topped global YouTube charts and logged hundreds of millions of views—as the main reason producers want an additional dance sequence.
- Details about the new song, including its genre, exact shoot dates and an official revised release date, have not been confirmed by Phantom and remain reported by unnamed production sources.
- If the reported plan goes ahead, the extra song could raise the film’s promotional reach and spotlight both leads—Rasha Thadani and Abhay Verma—but it will delay the film’s arrival and extend post-production work.
