Ajay Devgn Films has officially postponed the release date of its much-awaited comedy caper Son of Sardaar 2 — just 6 days earlier! Earlier this film was going to be released on 25 July 2025, but now the new date is 1 August 2025. After the announcement, a storm of speculation has come on social media, and people are saying: “Yeh toh Saiyaara ka khauf hai!”
Son of Sardaar 2 Postponed: Official Update
Ajay Devgn Films wrote in a social media post:
“Jassi Paaji and toli will see you in cinemas worldwide on 1st August 2025.”
The film is directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, N R Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja. Along with Ajay, Mrunal Thakur and Vindu Dara Singh will also be seen in lead roles in the film.
This is the sequel of 2012 blockbuster Son of Sardaar, which starred Ajay along with Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Mukul Dev. The first film did a worldwide business of ₹161.48 crore.
Internet Reactions: ‘Saiyaara ka Khauf’!
The public is quite active on the Internet and speculations are going on everywhere. Many fans say that the delay in Son of Sardaar 2 is due to the tremendous box office debut of Saiyaara.
One user commented:
“Saiyaara ka so much fear that the movie has been postponed.”
Another said:
“Saiyaara effect.”
And a fan wrote:
“Good decision, Saiyaara will earn a little.”
Some people even made fun, one even wrote:
“This is not Saiyaara ka fear, it is Mahavtar Narshimha ka effect!”
Saiyaara’s Impressive Start
Saiyaara, in which Ahaan Panday is debuting, has earned ₹21.25 crore on its very first day — a record-breaking figure for a debutant-led film! This romantic drama is directed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF (Yash Raj Films).
The special thing about the film is that its actors did not do any traditional marketing – no interviews, no city tours, no social media reels. Only strong content and pan-India marketing strategy were relied upon.
Statement said:
“Achieved all this without the actors being opened up to public gaze and without any traditional publicity.”
Strategic Delay Or Genuine Issue?
Till now Ajay Devgn Films has not given the exact reason for the delay. But looking at the box office trends, this could also be a strategic move. Avoiding competition between a film like Saiyaara is a smart decision for any big-banner film.
What’s Next for Son of Sardaar 2?
This film, which is going to be released on 1 August, is creating even more buzz. Fans are excited to see Jassi Paaji once again on the big screen.
So now it will be interesting to see whether Son of Sardaar 2 will create a stir like its first part or will the pressure of Saiyaara be heavier? Now even every big actor is afraid of movies clash, they do not want to take any risk like Prabhas’s Raja Saheb will also be postponed now because the actors & writers do not know what the fans will like.
