New Delhi: Netflix shared the release date of Alia Bhatt’s Hollywood debut ‘Heart of Stone’ along with a bunch of other marquee titles through teaser video on its social media platforms on Wednesday. In the teaser, Netflix revealed that Gal Gadot led movie will be released on August 11, 2023.  

This is the same date on which Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna starrer ‘Animal’ is going to release. Even though, Animal will release in theatres while Heart of Stone will come out on Netflix, it will be interesting to see how Ranbir and Alia’s films will clash on the same day. 

Directed by Tom Harper, ‘Heart of Stone’ also stars Jamie Dornan, Sophie Okonedo and Matthias Schweighofer. It follows Rachel Stone (Gadot), an intelligence operative and the only woman who stands between her powerful, global, peace-keeping organisation and the loss of its most valuable and dangerous asset.
