Pushpa 2, originally scheduled to release on August 15, 2024, has been postponed to December 6, 2024. This sudden change has opened up the highly coveted Independence Day long weekend, prompting other major films to seize the opportunity.

With Pushpa 2 out of the way, actor Ram Pothineni and director Puri Jagan have locked in August 15, 2024, for their upcoming film Double Ismart. The film, much anticipated by fans, is now set to capitalize on the Independence Day holiday.

Not to be outdone, Ravi Teja and his team have also chosen August 15, 2024, for the release of Mr. Bachchan. The production is complete, and the announcement was made with a striking new poster featuring Ravi Teja. Originally slated for an October release, the filmmakers decided to move up the date to take advantage of the long weekend.

The Independence Day long weekend is shaping up to be a crowded and competitive one for the box office. Alongside Double Ismart and Mr. Bachchan, two medium-budget films, 35 Chinna Katha Kadu and Aay, are also set to release on August 15, 2024. 35 Chinna Katha Kadu features Nivetha Thomas, while Aay stars Narne Nithin, the brother-in-law of Jr. NTR.

In addition to the Telugu releases, Vikram's Thangalaan is also scheduled to debut on August 15, 2024. This further intensifies the competition and ensures a packed weekend for moviegoers.

Directed by Harish Shankar, known for his remakes, Mr. Bachchan stars Ravi Teja and Bhagyashree Borse. The film is an official remake of Ajay Devgan's Hindi hit Raid and is produced by People Media Factory. Harish Shankar has made significant adjustments to the script to better suit Telugu audiences. The film's promotional song, featuring the lead pair, has already become a hit.

With multiple high-profile releases, the Independence Day weekend promises a feast for film enthusiasts. The box office will see fierce competition as each film vies for the audience's attention. Keep an eye on this space for further updates and box office results.

The reshuffling of release dates has turned August 15, 2024, into a highly anticipated day for Tollywood and beyond. As fans eagerly await these films, the competition promises to be as entertaining as the movies themselves.
