Ajay Devgn was one of the earliest to lock in an Eid 2026 release for his comedy entertainer Dhamaal 4. But the holiday frame has become increasingly crowded in recent weeks, especially after Ranveer Singh and Jio Studios announced Dhurandhar 2 for the same date, March 19, 2026. Yash’s Toxic is also slated to arrive that day. With the box office landscape getting complicated, Ajay has decided to take a considerate step.
The insider further added that the shift is purely a practical move, reflecting Ajay’s clarity about how the business works. According to the source, “Ajay has always been a kind who stands for the industry, and he is well aware of the fact that Dhurandhar 2 could redefine the film business for Bollywood. He is in sync with the business of the first part and doesn’t want to bring a comic caper against a film that speaks to the masses of India about the political conflicts. He feels Dhurandhar is an important franchise that deserves a clear run.”
With Eid out of the picture, Dhamaal 4 is now eyeing a Summer 2026 rollout, most likely in May. The team believes this window is better suited for a family comedy and could draw children and younger audiences to theatres in large numbers.
