Pushpa 2 was supposed to hit the screens on August 15, 2024. But at the last moment, the Allu Arjun starrer has been postponed to December 6, 2024.

Mr. Bachchan locks its release date

Now, Ravi Teja and his team of Mr. Bachchan have locked the same date for the release of Mr. Bachchan. The makers are done with the shoot and announced the same with a swanky new poster of Ravi Teja. There was news that Mr. Bachchan would be out in October, but as the film is ready, the makers have locked in August 15, 2024, as the release date.

Multiple films to release on August 15, 2024

All this is happening as August 15, 2024, falls on Thursday, and it will be a long weekend for the films to make merry. So, two big films, Mr Bachchan and Double Ismart, will lock horns with each other. Things do not stop here as two medium-budget films, 35 Chinna Katha Kadu and Aay, are all set to hit the screens on the same day. 35 has Nivetha Thomas, and Aay is the second film of Jr NTR's brother-in-law, Narne Nithin.

Apart from these Telugu films, Vikram's Thangalaan is also releasing on the same day, making the Independence Day weekend packed with releases. On the other hand, Mr. Bachchan is directed by Harish Shankar, the remake specialist and has Bhagyashree Borse as the female lead. Already, one song featuring the lead pair has become a smash hit with the listeners.

Mr. Bachchan is the official remake of Ajay Devgan's Hindi hit Raid. People Media Factory is the production house behind this film, which is a social drama. Harish Shankar has made a lot of changes to the script to suit the sensibilities of the Telugu audience. We need to see how all these big releases will fare in the days to come.
