release date
Shah Rukh Khan’s decision to delay Jawan’s release date has forced many Bollywood films to reschedule their releases, trade experts and exhibitors say – Exclusive | Hindi Film News
Shah Rukh Khan’sJavan‘ continues to create a ripple effect in the trade circle, especially since SRK announced a new release date for the film. Previously the film was supposed to be released on June 2nd but then it was pushed back to August and now Shah Rukh has revealed that the film will be released on September 7th.
The announcement immediately forced producer Dinesh Vijans to push back ‘Fukrey 3’ its release date, pushing it back to November.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who is usually the first to announce new film release dates, said: ““Jawan” ne sabko hila diya. The entire release table is turned upside down. Thanks to Shah Rukh Khan’s success with Pathaan, Jawan is currently the biggest film. No one wants to clash with Atlee’s action drama. “Fukrey 3” should be released on the date that “Jawan” will be released. I think Ajay Devgn’s ‘Maidaan’ will also decide on a different release date, but we’ll wait for producer Boney Kapoor’s official announcement.
The trade expects further announcements of postponed release dates. Fans may find out about it in a day or two. Senior Trade Analyst Girish Wankhede said: “The announcement of the new date of 7th September by Gauri Khan and SRK on their social media handles has obviously caused a flutter throughout the film world. The June 2nd release has been delayed by almost 3 months and other films that were scheduled for release in early September and late August are busy finding new box offices to accommodate their releases. Nobody wants to collide with SRK’s newfound muscle and power. His 1000 crores, global dominion post “Pathaan” is This is the reason for the massive and sudden postponement of the release dates. Released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada, “Jawan” boasts high-octane action with the Southern boost, Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara in the cast. No wonder Fukrey 3 and Vicky Kaushal’s untitled film have reconsidered their release dates. Yodha and Adityam also need to reconsider their release dates.”
The most difficult task for an exhibitor is to plan their calendar year according to preset release dates. Thanks to Jawan’s rescheduling, the exhibition sector’s annual calendar is in a state of massive flux at the moment. Exhibitor Manoj Desai said: “It’s too early to tell if this is a good decision or not. We’re talking about the film industry. Who knows who will be changing their release dates by when? For some, this may be a blessing in disguise.”
But Desai admitted the last-minute change caused chaos in the planning process. He said: “As an exhibitor, I am upset. A change in dates means we can’t focus on which film might be coming out next. We are in a state of confusion due to this release date change.”
SRK has chosen the festive Janmashtami weekend to be celebrated on September 6th and 7th. A senior film producer said on condition of anonymity: “SRK’s selection of the new release date is a great sign. We’ve seen movies clash with festive dates in the past. Fukery 3 would never have gotten a solo release. Had it been released on September 7th, it would have harmonized with one or the other release. It would have had to be searched for a new date anyway. The new series of film releases should help restore a normal cinematic habit to audiences.”
