After vacating June 4, is Toxic eyeing an Independence Day release? The trade, industry and fans woke up today in the morning with the shocking news that the much awaited film, Toxic, has been postponed yet again. The Yash-starrer was originally scheduled to be released on March 19. However, due to the tense war situation in the Middle East, the makers decided to push the film to June 4. On the morning of April 29, they revealed that the action entertainer is postponed yet again. This time, the makers didn’t declare any release date. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers of Toxic are seriously considering to release the film in the Independence Day week, either on August 13 or August 14. They feel it can be an ideal period to release. Since the makers are looking at a huge global release, the second week of August works well as there’s no major Hollywood film releasing in that period. ”The source continued, “The makers of Toxic are also looking at other dates as well. But it’s the Independence Day weekend that has caught their eye. ”If Toxic arrives on August 14 or 13, it’ll end up clashing with two major Hindi films. One is Rajkumar Santoshi’s Lahore 1947, which is scheduled for a release on August 13. It stars Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta and is produced by Aamir Khan. Secondly, Awarapan 2, starring Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani, releases on August 14.

Kartik Aaryan starrer Captain India locks Independence Day 2027 release Kartik Aaryan’s long-awaited Captain India has officially locked its theatrical release date. The aviation-themed drama, which marks the actor’s first collaboration with filmmaker Shimit Amin, is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on August 13, 2027, strategically timed for the Independence Day weekend. Presented by T-Series and Baweja Studios in association with Midnight Chai Films Ltd. , Captain India has been one of the more closely followed projects in Kartik Aaryan’s upcoming slate. The film had originally been announced in 2021, but there were multiple ups and downs the film underwent. The project carries added interest because it marks the return of director Shimit Amin after a 17-year gap from feature filmmaking.

He made his directorial debut with the gritty crime drama Ab Tak Chhappan (2004), followed it up with the widely loved sports drama Chak De! India (2007), and later directed Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009), which went on to gain a strong cult following over time. #BreakingNews. . .
