‘Dhurandhar 2’ was released in theaters on 19 March 2026. With the release of this film, there was such a storm at the box office that no film could stand before it. As soon as ‘Dhurandhar 2’ was announced after ‘Dhurandhar’, which was released on 5 December 2025, the makers of all the other films took their steps back. This trend is still going on. There are many big films which were scheduled to release in the month of April but their release date has been postponed to May or June. The name of Akshay Kumar’s film has also been included in this list.
Salman- Is Akshay also scared of ‘Dhurandhar 2’?
Akshay Kumar’s film ‘Bhoot Bangla’ was initially scheduled to release in May. But seeing the excitement of the people regarding the film, the release date of this film was postponed to 10th April. But now the film has been postponed once again. The reason for this is said to be that the makers want people to watch the film comfortably and there should be no clash with anyone. Now recently, through social media, the team of the film has told that the paid previews of this film will now start from 16th April.
So, Salman Khan’s upcoming film ‘Mathrubhoomi’ was also scheduled to release on April 17. But now according to the report of Bollywood Hungama, this film can be released by May 15. It is being said that due to the death of actor Prashant, who played an important role in the film, some of his shooting portion is left, hence the release of this film is being postponed for the time being.
