The much-anticipated box office showdown between “Pushpa 2” and “Singham 3” seems unlikely to materialize as planned. While work progresses on the Ajay Devgn starrer at a slower pace than anticipated, both the actor and director are committed to delivering a top-quality product.
The clash between “Pushpa 2” and “Singham 3” was highly anticipated by Indian audiences, eager to witness the collision of the Ajay Devgn-Rohit Shetty duo with Allu Arjun. Shetty’s ambitious project, “Singham 3,” has been elevated with the inclusion of additional stars such as Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Ranveer Singh as Simmba. However, it appears that the clash at the box office may not come to pass, a wise decision considering the magnitude of both films as major event releases.
According to a report from Bollywood Hungama, Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn have engaged in extensive discussions with the production house regarding the release date. While Devgn delivered a stellar performance in “Maidaan,” the film’s box office performance has been lackluster.
The production of “Singham 3” is currently underway, with both Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty investing considerable time and effort into the project. The duo is eager to present the film to audiences over the August 15 weekend. However, progress on the film has been slower than expected, requiring meticulous attention to maintain the desired quality. Devgn and Shetty are adamant about not compromising on their vision merely to meet the Independence Day 2024 deadline, prioritizing the integrity of the project above all else.
After extensive deliberation, it appears that Devgn and Shetty have reached an agreement with Jio Studios regarding the postponement of the film’s release. A potential Diwali 2024 release date is being considered, with discussions revolving around the specific timing of the release. However, this decision may entail a clash with Kartik Aaryan’s “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,” which had previously announced its Diwali release date two months earlier. Despite the potential competition, the Diwali season holds significance for the Devgn-Shetty duo, having proven to be fortuitous for their past collaborations.
As timelines for VFX and background score adjustments are being recalibrated to meet the Diwali 2024 deadline, Ajay and Rohit remain committed to delivering a cinematic experience that lives up to their shared vision, undeterred by the challenges of production delays and scheduling conflicts.
