Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 Postponed to Avoid Box Office Clash with Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic

Ajay Devgn's highly anticipated comedy film Dhamaal 4 has been postponed from its scheduled Eid 2026 release. The decision was made to avoid a box office clash with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 and Yash's Toxic, which are also set to release on the same date. Dhamaal 4 was initially announced as an Eid 2026 release, but the crowded release schedule prompted Ajay Devgn to shift the film to May 2026.

The move is seen as a strategic decision by Ajay Devgn, who is known for prioritizing the industry's well-being. Sources close to the actor suggest that he didn't want to risk clashing with Dhurandhar 2, which has already generated significant buzz following the success of the first film. Dhurandhar 2 is expected to be a major release, and Ajay Devgn likely wants to give it a clear run at the box office.

With the new release date, Dhamaal 4 is now expected to hit theaters in May 2026, a window that could attract strong family audiences and younger viewers. The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra, and Jaaved Jaaferi, and promises to deliver a laugh riot like never before.

Dhurandhar 2, directed by Aditya Dhar, is a sequel to the successful first installment and features an ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and R Madhavan. Toxic, on the other hand, is a period gangster drama starring Yash, Kareena Kapoor. The clash between these two big-ticket releases was expected to be intense, and Ajay Devgn's decision to postpone Dhamaal 4 will likely be seen as a wise move.
