Did Ajay Devgn Lead His Own Film to Failure?

Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardar 2 was originally scheduled for a July 25 theatrical release but has now been pushed to August 1. Many believe the move was made to avoid a direct clash with Saiyaara, which is generating considerable buzz. While this may be a strategic delay, the way the team is handling the situation is raising eyebrows among fans.

Promotional content such as trailers, songs, and posters received negative feedback online. Most of it was trolled for lack of quality and freshness. Now, with the sudden postponement, whatever buzz existed around the film seems to be fading fast. The delay, rather than building anticipation, has added to the confusion.

Despite gaining an extra week, the makers released only a second trailer—which was poorly edited and underwhelming. Fans are questioning the makers’ confidence in their own film, especially with such minimal promotional effort even as the release date draws near.

Extending promotions costs money, and fans suspect that the team may be holding back to avoid further expenses. Their hesitancy has led to speculation that the content itself may not be strong enough to justify additional investment.

The new release date puts Son of Sardar 2 in direct competition with Dhadak 2, creating another hurdle. What started as a solo release has now become a risky box office battle, with many wondering if Ajay Devgn’s film will hold its ground.

With fan curiosity building more out of concern than excitement, all eyes are on how Son of Sardar 2 will perform on August 1. Will it withstand the storm, or was the delay an early sign of trouble?
