“Salaar” caused quite a stir in trade circles when it announced a delay in its cinema release, originally scheduled for September 28th. This unexpected postponement sent shockwaves through the industry, leading to a domino effect where release dates for many other films had to be reshuffled, causing significant disruptions in the carefully laid-out plans of various productions.
Despite the chaos, the makers of this Prabhas starrer have remained tight-lipped about the new release date. However, rumors suggest that “Salaar” is now eyeing a potential release during Sankranthi 2024, a coveted slot in the Indian film calendar.
This move has added to the tension among distribution and exhibitor circles, especially with films like “Guntur Karam” and “Ustaad Bhagat Singh” also vying for the same release window. Some anonymous distributors claim to have received assurances from the “Salaar” team that the film will indeed hit screens in 2023, possibly in November or December.
If this promise holds true, it could ignite further unrest, as many other films have already locked in their release dates for these months. The industry awaits an official announcement from the “Salaar” makers to put an end to the prevailing confusion.
