SCOOP: Maatrubhumi may shift to 2027; Salman Khan expected to have 2 releases next year
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
The source explained, “The issues are yet to be resolved. Even if they are resolved soon, it will now be difficult to secure a good rollout slot, as most major dates have already been taken. In our industry, it is common for actors and filmmakers to take over a date that has already been claimed by another movie. But Salman Khan is an exception. He is very fair and doesn’t believe in clashing with another movie unnecessarily. Even if he decides to clash, he will inform the other party before making an announcement.”
Adding to this, An industry insider suggested that the Dussehra period could be a suitable option for Maatrubhumi ’s rollout. The insider shared, “Dussehra falls on Tuesday, October 20, this year. Even the day before Dussehra usually functions like a major holiday, with collections witnessing a jump. Hence, Maatrubhumi could benefit from an extended five-day weekend of sorts. Ramayana is expected to be preponed to October 30. After that, no major rollout is scheduled until the last week of November, which could also work in Maatrubhumi ’s favour.”
Meanwhile, As of now, Rajkummar Rao’s Raftaar is scheduled for a rollout on October 16. Emraan Hashmi-Genelia Deshmukh’s Gunmaaster G9 is also expected to be out on the same day. However, its producers are yet to make an official announcement on the same.
Notably, The source continued, “If the issues are not resolved soon, Maatrubhumi will be pushed to next year. This would mean that Salman Khan could have two releases in 2027. The star is currently shooting for Vamshi Paidipally’s untitled movie, co-starring Nayanthara, which is also expected to arrive in cinemas next year.”
