Cabaret starring Richa Chadda was scheduled for release in 2016. When asked what took the film so long to reach the audience producer Bhatt said, "In today's time when you have such big releases coming out who have 30 crores of marketing spend, I knew we will not be able to compete with them. If people don't know that this film is releasing what is the point of releasing it then. And all of my films whether 'Jism 2', 'Jism 1' or 'Holiday', I made sure that all the films got a dignified big release, where we didnt compromise on ad, media, promotions budget.

And I did not want to compromise at this stage on 'Cabaret'. We had a first time director in he had worked with all his heart and they came with the belief that Pooja Bhatt is not a producer who will bring your aesthetics to the fore but also give it a well-deserved release."

After the set back the film is now set for a digital release as a Zee5 original on the OTT platform. Apart from Richa the film also stars, Gulshan Devaiah, S Sreesanth and Gulshan Grover.
