Breaking: ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ postponed! Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur’s comedy-drama now arrives in cinemas on August 1, 2025. All the latest updates here.
The Highly Anticipated Sequel Gets a New Release Date—Here’s Everything You Should Know!
Hey, Ajay Devgn and desi comedy-action fans, we’ve got some news that you are going to want to hear! The producers of Son of Sardaar 2, the long-awaited sequel to Son of Sardaar (2012), have officially announced a new release date for the film.
In fact, the film was first scheduled for release in theaters on July 25th, 2025, and is now rescheduled to be released worldwide on August 1st, 2025.
Why was Son of Sardaar 2 Delayed?
While the production house, Jio Studios, did not disclose why the postponement was made, others in Bollywood have speculated on what may have caused the delay:
Possible Theories:
Post-production improvements: for cinema, production reports suggest that the editing and VFX teams needed some more time before the film was published. The aim is to complete and polish the film to have the best experience for audiences.
Avoid box office clashes: many films were slated to release around this period, virtually late July or early August, with some of them being larger-scale productions from South India. The decision could have been part of a strategy to lessen competitive pressure.
Marketing & Promotions: To allow the time for marketers to build up their marketing campaign to allow greater reach and engagement.
What Will be Seen from Son of Sardaar 2?
For those who loved the craziness, insane action, and Ajay Devgn’s character’s outrageous Sardar portrayal in 2012, have no fear, there is nothing to worry about, as the sequel will only be crazier.
The Cast & The Characters (Rumour)
Ajay Devgn will reprise his role as Jaswinder Singh Randhawa—fun, witty, and over-the-top flamboyant.
Mrunal Thakur is also a new addition to the cast as the female lead in the film, thus contributing probably a new romantic sub-plot.
The supporting cast is still unknown, but there are rumors that others will be great comic actors and some fresh faces.
The Plot (What we know so far)
With the official plot tightly guarded, we do know that the sequel does pick up years after the events of the first film.
You can expect:
A modern twist to rivalry, which has been around for centuries.
Cross-generational conflict.
Hilarious cultural satire.
The Director and the Crew
Directed by Ashwni Dhir, who directed Son of Sardaar.
Produced under Ajay Devgn FFilms in association with Jio Studios.
Screenplay by: A-list writers, with a combination of bhangra beats and love songs.
The Legacy of the First Son of Sardaar
Let’s go back to the numbers.
Son of Sardaar (2012):
Box Office Collection: ₹105 crores worldwide.
IMDb Rating: 5.1/10 (It received mixed reviews from critics, but was a fan favorite.)
Popular Songs: “Po Po”, “Bichdann”, and “Rani Tu Mein Raja.”
Why the new release date might actually be a positive.
The release of Son of Sardaar 2 on August 1, 2025, could be a huge tactical win:
Better Box Office Window
August is a good month for Bollywood, and all of August runs well into the Canada Day long weekend, meaning:
More people will go to the movies during shows, getting back into the theatre.
More chance of repeat viewing.
More leverage for marketers.
More Marketing runway
A one-week delay allows for more time for:
Trailer releases
Interviews (TV & print)
Social media chatter
Music release
Competitive Awareness
It is beneficial to avoid getting stuck in the release window of major South Indian/blockbuster movies, Marvel tentpoles, or other Bollywood films to have a stronger box office.

Regardless of whether you are a super fan of Ajay Devgn, a lover of Punjabi-comedy-action films, or you just love movies that are a guaranteed laugh, Son of Sardaar 2 is slated to be one of the biggest theatrical releases of 2025.
