Son of Sardaar 2 Gets New Release Date After Last-Minute Postponement

Ajay Devgn's highly anticipated sequel shifts from July 25 to August 1, 2025

In a surprising turn of events, the makers of "Son of Sardaar 2" have announced a week-long postponement of their much-awaited comedy sequel. The Ajay Devgn starrer, originally scheduled to hit theatres on July 25, 2025, will now release on August 1, 2025, worldwide.

The announcement came through an official Instagram post from Jio Studios, the film's production house. "The Laughter Riot Just Got A New Date. 'Son of Sardaar 2' will now release in cinemas on 1st August 2025 worldwide," read the caption accompanying a fresh promotional poster.

While the makers haven't officially disclosed the reason behind this last-minute change, industry insiders suggest that minor post-production work might still be pending. Such delays, though disappointing for fans, are not uncommon in the film industry when creators want to ensure the final product meets their quality standards.

Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, "Son of Sardaar 2" serves as a follow-up to the 2012 hit "Son of Sardaar," which was helmed by Ashwni Dhir. The original film was a commercial success, grossing ₹161.48 crore worldwide and establishing itself as a beloved comedy entertainer.

The sequel promises to take audiences on a new adventure, this time set against the picturesque backdrop of Scotland. Ajay Devgn returns as the lead character, bringing back his trademark swagger and comic timing that made the first film memorable. Joining him is Mrunal Thakur, who plays the female lead, marking another significant collaboration in her growing filmography.

The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including veteran actor Vindu Dara Singh, alongside other talented performers who are expected to bring their unique flavours to this comedy sequel. The project is produced by Ajay Devgn himself, in collaboration with Jyoti Deshpande, N.R. Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja, ensuring strong backing both creatively and financially.

Given the success of its predecessor and the popularity of Ajay Devgn in the comedy genre, "Son of Sardaar 2" carries substantial expectations. The original film revolved around Jaswinder "Jassi" Singh Randhawa, who returns to his Punjab village after years in London, only to find himself in unexpected circumstances. While details about the sequel's plot remain under wraps, the Scottish setting suggests a fresh take on the character's journey.

The one-week delay, while disappointing for eager fans, might work in the film's favour by allowing for better post-production polish and potentially avoiding competition with other releases. The August 1 release date positions the film well for the summer entertainment season, when audiences are typically more receptive to light-hearted, family-friendly content.

With its blend of comedy, action, and Ajay Devgn's proven screen presence, "Son of Sardaar 2" remains one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Fans will now have to wait just a little longer to witness this laughter riot unfold on the big screen.
