The decision to release the romance drama a week earlier came after much thought by production company Yash Raj Films (YRF).
"With Ferrari Ki Sawaari moving to a later date and the IPL [Indian Premier League] crunch matches starting from May 18, this shift will give Ishaqzaade a better window for release," said a statement from YRF.
With the shift in release date, Ishaqzaade will clash with Vikram Bhatt's Dangerous Ishq, which marks the comeback of Karisma Kapoor to Bollywood after five years.
