On Monday, February 3, Bollywood Hungama published the viral news that the Akshay Kumar-R Madhavan-Ananya Pandey starrer period courtroom drama has been titled as Kesari Chapter 2. The news spread like wild fire very quickly. The film was initially scheduled to be released on March 14 on the occasion of Holi, similar to the primary part, which arrived in cinemas on Holi 2019. But as per the newest information, the film has been pushed ahead.
EXCLUSIVE: Kesari Chapter 2 won’t arrive on Holi; Dhadak 2 takes up the March 14 slot
This brought up the query as to which film will now take up the Holi slot. Bollywood Hungama has learned that Dhadak 2 might be the Holi release of 2025. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Dhadak 2, like Kesari Chapter 2, is produced by Dharma Productions. Once they postponed the Akshay Kumar-starrer, they decided to not let go of the coveted slot and hence, are all set to bring Dhadak 2 on the Festival of Colors. An official announcement is predicted to happen soon.”
Dhadak 2 stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri and was originally scheduled to be released on November 22, 2024. It was then pushed to February 21, coinciding with Triptii’s birthday, which falls on February 23.
As of now, Dhadak 2 is predicted to have a solo release on Holi. An industry insider commented, “Holi is a giant festival and ideally, two mid-sized movies might be accommodated at the moment. Nevertheless, this yr, Holi falls through the Holy month of Ramadan. Salman Khan’s big-scale motion film Sikandar is scheduled to release two weeks after Holi, on Eid. Hence, expect fewer releases in March.”
A trade expert, meanwhile, remarked, “February 7 will see two releases – Badass Ravi Kumar and Loveyapa together with a plethora of re-releases. Chhaava arrives on February 14 and Mere Husband Ki Biwi on February 21. No major film is lined up after that except The Diplomat on March 7 and Dhadak 2 on March 14. Even May might need fewer releases, because it happened last yr, as a consequence of IPL. Hence, there is perhaps unnecessary clashes from June. In brief, the industry might once more repeat the mistakes of 2024 of letting certain Fridays go to waste and having too many releases in certain weeks.”
