Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire postponed

Prashanth Neel's Salaar: Part 1: Ceasefire release date was pushed due to some post-production work. As per the source close to the project, "Director Prashanth Neel doesn't want to compromise on the final product of Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire. Hence he has decided to work on the post-production to prioritise every detail to be perfect despite the buzz for the film being at a time high. However, to ensure the best product to be delivered to the audience, the probability of film release is high in November. Meanwhile, the director is working on the post-production, and the makers, Hombale Films will soon announce the film's new release date.''

Apart from Prabhas and Prithviraj, the film also stars Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Easwari Rao, and Sriya Reddy. The pan-India project has been described as a one-of-a-kind project that the audience has never seen before. It will be dark and full of action.

No delay in Dunki's release

Shah Rukh Khan is on a roll! After Pathaan, King Khan is basking in the success of Jawan. Both films have crossed Rs 1000 crore (Rs 10 billion) at the box office worldwide. Now, SRK's eyes are on his next Dunki. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani and features Taapsee Pannu in a pivotal role.

There were previous reports indicating a delay in Dunki's release, but after the major success, SRK confirmed that the film would be released in theatres on Christmas.
