Hyderabad/IBNS: The postponement of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups has prompted the early arrival of Ustaad Bhagat Singh starring Pawan Kalyan on the big screens.

While fans of Yash were gearing up for the release of Toxic on March 19, the makers decided to postpone the film to June 4, 2026, just weeks before its scheduled theatrical debut.

Aligned with festive celebrations such as Gudi Padwa, Ugadi and Eid, the Geetu Mohandas-directed film was earlier expected to enjoy a blockbuster opening weekend.

In an official statement, KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations said the ongoing conflict in the Middle East influenced their decision.

Given that the film has also been shot in English and is aimed at a global audience, uncertainty in key international markets prompted the makers to reassess the release date.

Seizing the opportunity, the makers of Ustaad Bhagat Singh have preponed its release to March 19 from March 26.

The early arrival now sets up a major box-office clash between Ustaad Bhagat Singh and Dhurandhar 2, starring Ranveer Singh, which is a sequel to the blockbuster Dhurandhar.

Directed by Harish Shankar, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is an action-comedy film that also stars Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna, and Ashutosh Rana in key roles.
