MUMBAI: Jahnu Barua‘s much delayed film Har Pal is being readied for release in June.

Starring Shiney Ahuja and Preity Zinta, the film ran into problems when Ahuja was arrested on allegations of sexual harassment. His release on bail is said to have prompted producers to try and release the film again.

Confirming the same, Barua said, "Things have started settling down now. It will release by June next year. Am starting two more films soon. I will begin shooting for one of them next month. I can‘t say much about the films so early, but both are love stories."

Amitabh Bachchan was supposed to play Zinta‘s father in the film but later when he opted out due to date problems, the vetearan actor was subsequently replaced by Dharmendra after Zinta suggested his name.

Har Pal also stars Eesha Koppikkar.
