Fans eager for the return of Jassi Paaji will have to wait just one more week! Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur‘s highly anticipated action-comedy sequel, “Son of Sardaar 2,” has officially pushed its release date from July 25, 2025, to August 1, 2025. This strategic shift sets the stage for a new box office face-off.
One-Week Delay: “Son of Sardaar 2” Aims for August Opening
The makers of “Son of Sardaar 2” announced the new release date via an official update from Jio Studios. The move of one week comes amidst a dynamic box office environment, with industry insiders suggesting it allows the film to position itself for a stronger opening. While no explicit reason for the shift has been provided, it is a common strategy in Bollywood to adjust release dates based on competitive landscape and upcoming holiday windows.
New Clash: “Son of Sardaar 2” vs. “Dhadak 2”
The revised release date of August 1, 2025, now pits “Son of Sardaar 2” directly against “Dhadak 2,” starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. This unexpected clash will make the first weekend of August a battleground for two distinct cinematic offerings. The move also suggests that the strong performance of recent releases, such as Mohit Suri’s “Saiyaara,” might have influenced the decision to provide more breathing room for all films in the market.
A Star-Studded Ensemble Returns
“Son of Sardaar 2” brings back the beloved blend of action, comedy, and vibrant Punjabi flair that endeared its predecessor to audiences. The film features a stellar ensemble cast, headlined by the charismatic Ajay Devgn and the versatile Mrunal Thakur in the lead roles. They are joined by a host of popular actors such as Ravi Kishan, Chunky Pandey, Vindu Dara Singh, and Neeru Bajwa, promising a full-on entertainer. The film also marks a posthumous appearance for Mukul Dev.
The sequel is helmed by director Vijay Kumar Arora, known for his work as a cinematographer on several Hindi films and as a director in Punjabi cinema, including “Kali Jotta” and “Paani Ch Madhaani.” The film is presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, indicating a strong backing from major players in the industry.
Powerful Production Team: Ajay Devgn Leads from Behind the Scenes
Beyond his starring role, Ajay Devgn is also a key producer of “Son of Sardaar 2,” alongside Jyoti Deshpande, N.R. Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja. Kumar Mangat Pathak serves as a co-producer, ensuring a robust production framework for the film. This team aims to deliver a spiritual sequel that lives up to the expectations set by the 2012 original.
The trailer for Son of Sardaar 2, released on July 11, has already sparked considerable excitement among audiences. Packed with action, humour, and vibrant Punjabi settings, it promises a high-energy ride. The film is set against the scenic backdrop of Scotland, adding visual appeal to the comedy and action sequences.
The Countdown Begins Anew
With its revised release date, “Son of Sardaar 2” is now ready to entertain audiences on August 1, 2025. The film’s blend of star power, humour, and action, coupled with a strategic release, positions it as a significant contender in the upcoming cinematic calendar.
