The makers of Ghoomer had announced earlier this week that the film's trailer will be releasing on Thursday. However, the event was cancelled after the death of noted art director Nitin Desai on Wednesday. Nitin Desai was found dead at his studio in Karjat near Mumbai on Wednesday, news agency PTI reported. He was best-known for working on big projects like Jodhaa Akbar, Lagaan as well as the popular TV quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. On Wednesday, Abhishek Bachchan announced that the trailer release event has been shifted to August 4 as a "mark of respect" to the late Nitin Desai.
"As a mark of respect to our beloved Nitin Desai, we the team of Ghoomer, have decided to postpone our trailer release function which was to be held tomorrow in Mumbai. We will release it day after on the 4th of August," wrote Abhishek Bachchan.
