The sudden announcement of Salaar’s postponement has sent shockwaves through the film industry and fans alike. Salaar was highly anticipated, with expectations of breaking old records. However, the official announcement from the makers is still pending.
Hints about the postponement had been circulating before yesterday. Despite being just four weeks away from release, there was no teaser or trailer update. Overseas bookings briefly reassured fans, but everything changed overnight. USA theaters started removing shows from their websites, initiating the refund process.
Salaar had already made over half a million USD in advance sales for the USA premiere, with an additional $200K in weekend sales and 19,000 tickets sold. With just 26 days left until the US premieres, the potential postponement is a major twist for fans and overseas distributors.
The Salaar team is now focused on finding the best possible new release date. Rumors suggest January 12 as an option, setting the stage for a colossal clash during the 2024 Sankranthi festival. Salaar’s unexpected delay has left fans and distributors in suspense, while the film’s team works on a new release plan, potentially leading to a major showdown in 2024.
