The Indian film industry is witnessing a significant reshuffle for the highly coveted release date of August 15, 2024. Initially reserved for the much-anticipated “Pushpa 2: The Rule” and “Singham 4,” both films have now vacated the spot, leading to a flurry of new announcements from other major productions.
Release Date Changes
Pushpa 2: The Rule
Due to pending patchwork and ongoing shoots, the makers of “Pushpa 2: The Rule” are considering postponing its release. As a result, the highly anticipated Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer, directed by Sukumar, will no longer hit theaters on August 15, 2024.
Singham 4 (Singham Again)
Similarly, “Singham 4,” starring Ajay Devgn, Deepika Padukone, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, and directed by Rohit Shetty, has also moved from the August release window. The new date for this action-packed sequel is yet to be announced.
