Overview
- Bollywood Hungama, echoed by Times Now and Republic World, reports that Ajay Devgn has vacated the Eid 2026 slot to steer clear of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 and Yash’s Toxic.
- Unnamed sources indicate the team is now eyeing a Summer 2026 launch, with May under consideration, rather than the holiday frame.
- Devgn had initially positioned the comedy for an Eid 2026 debut before rival franchises firmed plans for the same period.
- The change is described by trade sources as a practical, industry-first decision intended to protect box-office prospects.
- Dhurandhar’s early box-office strength — reported at about Rs 126 crore net in four days — has reinforced expectations for the sequel’s March 19, 2026 holiday corridor.
