Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn are reportedly rescheduling the release date of their much-anticipated film, ‘Singham Again,’ to avoid a clash with ‘Pushpa 2,’ starring Allu Arjun. The clash-averse move has sent ripples of relief throughout the industry.
Initially, it was supposed to be a showdown at the box office as both ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Pushpa 2′ were vying for an Independence Day release. However, it seems that collaboration and industry goodwill have triumphed over competition.
Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn Likely To Push Singham Again Release
Behind closed doors at Rohit Shetty’s office, multiple discussions were held to address the scheduling conflict. Ultimately, it was decided that it would be in the best interest of the industry and both films to avoid a head-to-head battle.
A source close to the production house revealed, “Neither Rohit Shetty nor Ajay Devgn are egoistic to stick to a date that hampers the business prospect for their own film. Of course, they were upset with the decision of Allu Arjun to arrive uninformed at a date already announced by a potential blockbuster like Singham, but then, they didn’t wish to go the same route as Pushpa team by going in a clash scenario.”
The source continued, “At times, the greater good of the industry is to be seen. Both ‘Pushpa 2’ and ‘Singham Again’ are potential blockbuster films in Hindi, and their arrival on the same date makes no sense. Ajay and Rohit have collectively decided to shift ahead and let ‘Pushpa 2’ take the date. The actor-director duo believes that ‘Pushpa 2’ needs the packaging of a holiday to arrive, whereas ‘Singham Again’ is such a humongous brand that it can arrive on any day without any holiday and score records. They don’t want to harm the business of ‘Pushpa 2’ and, at the same time, don’t want to be harmed.”
While a simple phone call from Allu Arjun to Ajay Devgn could have potentially resolved the issue, Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn have chosen the path of dignified cooperation.

When Will The Duo Announce Singham Again Official Release Date?
With ‘Singham Again’ yet to go into production, the duo is confident that they can announce a date that cine-goers will eagerly mark as a national holiday. Rohit Shetty, known for creating films that compel the audience to take a holiday for themselves, is gearing up for his most significant outing yet with ‘Singham Again.’
‘Singham Again’ boasts an ensemble cast featuring the cop universe, Ajay Devgn, alongside Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh.
