Son of Sardaar 2: Postponement Creates Buzz

Ajay Devgn’s hilarious turbaned avatar is back, but fans will have to wait just a little longer! The sequel to 2012’s blockbuster Son of Sardaar was all set for a grand release on July 25, 2025—a date marked by fans months in advance. However, the makers made a surprising announcement on July 19, just days before release: the new worldwide release date is now August 1, 2025.

🤔 Why the Sudden Change?

While no official reason was given, Bollywood trade insiders point to a strategic move:

  • Saiyaara, a surprise blockbuster, is dominating multiplexes and single screens alike.

  • The makers reportedly decided to shift Son of Sardaar 2 to avoid a clash that could dent their opening weekend.

  • Some rumors suggest last-minute post-production tweaks too—though nothing has been confirmed.

🎭 The Big Clash: SOS2 vs Dhadak 2

The new date places Son of Sardaar 2 in direct competition with Dhadak 2, starring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi.
Both films are big-budget, targeting mass family audiences. A box office face-off like this means:

  • Split screens at major chains (PVR, Inox, Cinepolis).

  • Divided audience—especially in North India where both films have strong appeal.

  • Heavy marketing battles on social media and OTT platforms.

What’s the Story This Time?

While plot details are mostly under wraps, Son of Sardaar 2 promises more hilarious chaos:

  • Ajay Devgn reprises his iconic role as Jassi.

  • Mrunal Thakur joins as his feisty love interest.

  • Sanjay Dutt is rumored to return as a surprise cameo.

  • Expect big Punjabi family feuds, slapstick chases, and larger-than-life action with a comic twist.

While the sudden delay disappointed some, trade experts believe the move could help Son of Sardaar 2 earn bigger collections in its second week. The bonus? Fans now have another week to rewatch the original Son of Sardaar and get ready for double the madness!
