Release of Shootout at Wadala pushed till 1 May, 2013
MUMBAI: The release of Ekta Kapoor‘s Shootout at Wadala has been postponed for 1 May next year.
This is the second time that release of the film, co-produced and directed by Sanjay Gupta, has been postponed. Earlier, it was scheduled to release on 7 December this year but it was pushed to 25 January, 2013 to avoid a clash with Aamir Khan‘s Talaash, that is scheduled to release on November 30.
Looking at the release of the Anil Kapoor and John Abraham-starrer Race 2 early January, the film‘s release has been pushed further to May, it is understood.
“When I recently saw the rushes of the film I was blown away. It was so engaging and a powerful film. With its content and massive star cast, topped by the marketing push that Balaji team will give…we needed a five-day long weekend for Shootout at Wadala,” producer Ekta Kapoor said in a statement.
The makers are banking on the theme of the film which is based on the life of Maharashtrian labourer Manya Surve (played by John Abraham), who became involved in the first ever police encounter in the country.
Shootout at Wadala, which is a prequel to the 2007 hit film Shootout at Lokhandwala, stars John Abraham as gangster Manya Surve while Anil Kapoor plays the role of police officer named Issac Bagwan. It also stars Tusshar Kapoor, Sonu Sood, Manoj Bajpai, Ronit Roy, Kangana Ranuat and others.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
