The release date of Prabhas and Hanu Raghavapudi’s Fauzi has been recently confirmed as December 3, 2026. With this new entry, December is now crowded with multiple releases, raising concerns about a lot of things.
Notably, Fauzi is going to be the first big film in December. This will be followed by Akshay Kumar and Anees Bazmee’s upcoming movie. Then there is Ranger, Avengers: Doomsday, Dune Part Three, King, and Jumanji: Open World.
Online reports are currently claiming that Akshay’s untitled film and Ranger might shift to some other date. However, an official confirmation is awaited.
On the other hand, fans of Prabhas are happy since their favourite actor has managed to avoid a clash with the three big films from Hollywood. But the release timing of Fauzi brings back the memories of December 2023, when Prabhas’s Salaar and Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki clashed on the same week.
This time, there is a gap of 20 days. But trade experts are saying that in case the content turns out to be good and Fauzi gets a long run, it might create trouble for King. SRK’s fans are still confident that because of the long gap, the collections of King won’t be impacted in any manner.
One thing that remains a big obstacle right now is the arrival of three big Hollywood films. Considering the craze for MCU’s next, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it is evident that audiences won’t like to miss Doomsday, which will mark the return of the original group of Avengers in the successful franchise.
Trade experts have stated that, as of now, only Doomsday remains a big competition for King since the other two films will get a limited run with good box office numbers. But the figures won’t affect the collections of Doomsday or King in India.
The main trailers of all the films, except Dune Part Three, are yet to be released to the audience. As mentioned, December is going to be crowded with big releases. Let’s see if the ongoing situation that started in the middle of June 2026 will happen again at the end of the year, or things will be completely different.
