Ajay Devgn Shifts Dhamaal 4 From Eid 2026 to Avoid Clash With Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic
Ajay Devgn has taken a strategic and thoughtful step in reshaping the 2026 release calendar. The superstar, who was the first to lock Eid 2026 for the much-awaited comedy Dhamaal 4, has now decided to vacate the festive window to avoid a three-way clash with two major films — Dhurandhar 2 and Yash’s Toxic.
Why Ajay Devgn Moved Dhamaal 4
According to highly placed industry insiders, the decision was made after several internal discussions and careful evaluation of the box office landscape. A source revealed:
“After witnessing the historic success of Dhurandhar, Ajay Devgn doesn’t want to clash with its sequel. Eid 2026 is now packed with massive titles, and Ajay prefers giving Dhamaal 4 a clean run. He is now targeting a May 2026 release.”
Ajay Devgn’s Practical & Industry-Friendly Move
Ajay, known for taking mature business decisions, reportedly had no ego about shifting dates despite having announced Eid much earlier. The source added:
“Ajay has always been someone who puts the industry first. He knows Dhurandhar 2 has the potential to set new benchmarks. Bringing a comedy franchise against a politically charged action drama doesn’t make business sense. He believes Dhurandhar as a franchise deserves a solo run.”
With Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic locking Eid, Dhamaal 4 is now expected to arrive during Summer 2026, most likely May 2026, a period perfect for drawing kids and families to theatres. – Ajay Devgn Shifts Dhamaal 4 From Eid 2026 to Avoid Clash With Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic
