Mumbai, Jan 5 (TIWN / IANS) Actress Nargis Fakhris "Amavas", which was to release on January 11, will now hit the screens on February 1. The delay is due to visual effects and post production related work.

The film's director, Bhushan Patel, said in a statement: "We are trying to achieve top-class VFX and that is little time consuming. We do not want to release the film haphazardly and want to ensure that the end product is up to the mark."
