2nd May 2023: After the tremendous success of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘Pathaan’, the industry and trade were thrilled. However, recent developments suggest that SRK’s next film ‘Jawan’ may not meet its scheduled release date of June 2, 2023. The expectation was that the movie’s promotional campaign would begin in the first week of May, but as of now, there has been no indication from Red Chillies Entertainment about the start of the promotions.
As the teaser or trailer of ‘Jawan’ is not yet released, speculation is rife that the movie may get postponed. According to a source who spoke to Bollywood Hungama, “The fact that the teaser or trailer of Jawan isn’t out yet and that there has been no intimation from Red Chillies Entertainment as to when the promotions will start have added to the speculation that Jawan is getting postponed.”
Reports are also doing the rounds that ‘Jawan’ may now release on Thursday, June 29. The source further added, “If it releases on the 29th, it can have a four-day weekend and also get the advantage of the Bakri Eid holiday on its release day. Moreover, Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Yodha and Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Dream Girl 2 were slated to arrive in cinemas on July 7. Both got pushed last week. Many believed that these movies were postponed as they don’t want to get in the way of the Jawan wave.”
However, there is no official confirmation about the change in the release date of ‘Jawan’. The movie, which features SRK in the lead role, has created a lot of anticipation among the audience, and any delay in its release can cause confusion in the industry.
Interestingly, Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani-starrer ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ is set to release on June 29 as well. It is unclear if this movie is also getting postponed. As of now, no official announcement has been made by the production house.The industry insiders are worried about the situation, and many of them are hoping that Red Chillies Entertainment or Shah Rukh Khan himself makes an announcement soon about the movie’s release date.
