While the Telugu film industry remains concerned about the release of “Dhurandhar 2,” fresh speculation from Bollywood has added a new twist to the situation.
Fearing that “Dhurandhar 2” could dent their pan-Indian prospects, the makers of Telugu films such as Ram Charan’s “Peddi,” Adivi Sesh’s “Dacoit,” and Nani’s “The Paradise” have reportedly begun exploring alternative release options.
However, the latest buzz in Bollywood suggests that “Dhurandhar 2” may not stick to its announced March 19 release date. There is strong speculation that the big-ticket sequel could be pushed to August 2026 instead.
An official announcement regarding the film’s release date or postponement is expected on January 26. Until then, Bollywood media outlets and social media handles continue to hint that the makers are seriously considering an August release window.
With no formal confirmation yet, the teams behind “Peddi” and “Dacoit” are left waiting for clarity before finalizing their own release plans.
