If you’ve been counting down to July 25 for Ajay Devgn’s Son Of Sardaar 2, we’ve got an update—and it’s straight from the source. The laugh-packed sequel has now been postponed to August 1, and trust us, it’s not because of any delay in production. In fact, the reason is pretty strategic.
Why the Sudden Shift? Two Words: Saiyaara Storm
So here’s what really happened—Yash Raj Films’ Saiyaara exploded at the box office the moment it released on July 18. Nobody saw it coming, but the film turned into a total juggernaut overnight. Theatres were packed, reviews were glowing, and the buzz just kept growing.
According to insiders, Ajay Devgn and his team saw this box office wave and made a smart call: instead of clashing with Saiyaara just a week later, they decided to push Son Of Sardaar 2 by one week to August 1.
A source close to the film told Bollywood Hungama, “The reports of Saiyaara are extremely positive, and it’ll do better on Saturday than Friday. It’s going to remain strong through the week and even the second weekend. Releasing Son Of Sardaar 2 just a week after wouldn’t have been ideal for either film.”
Honestly? Smart play.
A Win-Win for Everyone—Especially Movie Lovers
Trade experts are already calling this move a “win-win situation.” And it’s easy to see why. Now, Saiyaara gets two full weeks of unchallenged screen space to rake in the moolah, while Son Of Sardaar 2 gets its moment in the spotlight without having to split the audience.
“Saiyaara is unstoppable and with SOS 2’s postponement, it’ll get a healthy run. Then, Son Of Sardaar 2 will take over. It’s good for business, theatres, and fans,” said one trade analyst.
Plus, this shift actually turns August into a firecracker month, with SOS 2 kicking things off, followed by War 2. It’s a great time to be a movie buff.
What to Expect from Son Of Sardaar 2
Now that we’ve got a little more time to wait, here’s a refresher on why Son Of Sardaar 2 is one of the most anticipated sequels of 2025.
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and backed by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, the movie promises to be a full-on entertainer—combining comedy, action, and that unmistakable Sardaar swag that made the original a fan favorite.
Oh, and if you missed the trailer launch, Mrunal Thakur shared the funniest story ever—apparently she had to “learn French in Punjabi” while filming. Being a Maharashtrian, she said it was one of her biggest on-set challenges. Now that’s dedication!
