Overview
- Producer Mukesh Bhatt says the sequel is shifting from an April slot to a May or June 2026 release after Emraan Hashmi’s operation.
- Hashmi is restricted from performing action for 45 days, so the remaining set pieces will be completed once he is cleared.
- About 20 days of filming in Malaysia are left to wrap the movie, primarily focused on action sequences.
- Bhatt denies the delay is to avoid Dhurandhar 2 or Toxic, insisting competition did not drive the change.
- The film is directed by Nitin Kakkar from a script by Bilal Siddiqui, with roles for Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi reported as the team underscores the original’s strong fanbase.
