'Toxic' postponement clears the way
The boost in ticket sales also comes after the postponement of 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown Ups', starring Yash, which was initially slated to clash with 'Dhurandhar 2' on March 19. The film has now reportedly been pushed to June 4, 2026, giving the Ranveer Singh starrer a clear run at the box office.
However, the film will still face competition from Hollywood with 'Project Hail Mary', starring Ryan Gosling which is all set to release on March 20.
With strong advance bookings and reduced competition at the box office, 'Dhurandhar 2' appears all set for a strong opening. The big question now is whether the sequel can outperform the first film at the box office.
