The eagerly awaited film Jolly LLB 3, directed by Subhash Kapoor and starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, was originally scheduled for theatrical release on April 10, 2025. However, recent developments have resulted in the film's release being rescheduled to August of this year.

Karan Johar’s request led to the postponement of Jolly LLB 3

The postponement of Jolly LLB 3 was reportedly influenced by a request from Karan Johar. It is believed that Johar urged Kumar and the production team to delay the film's release, as he plans to launch the second installment of the Kesari franchise on April 18, 2025. According to a source who spoke to Bollywood Hungama, Kumar was agreeable to the change in schedule for Jolly LLB 3.

In related news, the release of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has been pushed to the latter half of 2025, with reports indicating that Kesari 2 is taking over its original release date. This shift has caused a significant alteration in the schedules of both Dharma Productions and Kumar. The new release dates for Jolly LLB 3 and Kesari: Chapter 2 are expected to be announced shortly.

Initially, Kesari Chapter 2 was set to premiere on March 14, coinciding with the Holi festival.

Dhadak 2 takes the Holi 2025 slot

In light of these changes, discussions have arisen regarding which film will occupy the Holi 2025 weekend. Sources have indicated that Dhadak 2 is poised to make its debut during this festive period.

Dharma Productions, which is also behind Kesari: Chapter 2, is producing Dhadak 2. Following the postponement of Kumar's film, they have opted to seize the opportunity to release Dhadak 2 during Holi, with an official announcement forthcoming.

Multiple release date shifts for Dhadak 2

Dhadak 2 has experienced multiple shifts in its release date. Initially slated for November 22, 2024, the filmmakers adjusted the date from February 23, which would have coincided with Dimri's birthday, to February 21 instead.

It is presently anticipated that Dhadak 2 will be released independently during the Holi festival. According to sources, it would be advantageous to schedule two mid-sized films for that period. However, this year's Holi coincides with the sacred month of Ramadan. Additionally, Salman Khan's highly anticipated action film Sikandar is set to debut on Eid, which occurs two weeks after Holi. Consequently, there is expected to be a reduction in film releases throughout March.
