Bollywood romantic drama Param Sundari, featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, has been pulled from its original July 25, 2025 release slot to avoid a direct clash with Ajay Devgn’s much-anticipated Son of Sardaar 2.
“It can’t come in August. WAR 2 is there. Seems like it will be a long delay.” — Reddit thread discussing the switch
Why the Change?
Secure a clear window: Son of Sardaar 2 is now getting a solo July 25 theatrical release, free from competition.
Producer strategy: Maddock Films (producer Dinesh Vijan) prefers a non-competitive launch over battling a high-voltage action-comedy.
Implications for Both Films
For Son of Sardaar 2: Gains undivided attention and screens on July 25 — a strong commercial strategy .
New release timeline: Teasers now read “In cinemas worldwide this August,” and buzz suggests a late-August premiere, potentially August 29.
Why Param Sundari Moved First
“It needs full media bandwidth and a weekend where it can be the solo choice for younger audiences and couples. Clashing with a male-heavy mass entertainer could’ve reduced its impact.”
Son of Sardaar 2 Holds Ground
With Param Sundari stepping away, Son of Sardaar 2 now enjoys a clear path on 25 July.
Trade Analysts Approve the Move
Exhibitors and trade experts have praised the shift. “. “Screen division, PR overlaps, and pressure on opening day numbers hurt both films. This new arrangement benefits everyone.”
In a post-pandemic landscape where audience behavior is unpredictable, and even top stars can’t guarantee a ₹100 crore run, producers are becoming more strategic and less ego-driven.
New Date, Same Heat
With songs already trending and Janhvi-Sidharth chemistry drawing early praise, its new release window—possibly around Independence Day week or Raksha Bandhan—may work in its favor, offering a festive vibe and extra footfall.
A Smart Split, Not a Showdown
The decision to avoid a direct clash between Param Sundari and Son of Sardaar 2 is a rare win-win for both camps.
