This film expected to shatter old records has kept enthusiasts eagerly awaiting its release. However despite the buzz surrounding it there has been no official statement from the makers regarding the delay.
Hints of Salaar's postponement had been circulating prior to the announcement. The makers had only released a brief glimpse of the movie and with just four weeks left until its scheduled release there was no update on the teaser or trailer. Fans began to have doubts but their hopes were momentarily restored when overseas bookings opened.
However in a dramatic turn of events USA theaters have started removing Salaar show listings from their websites and the refund process for tickets has begun. The USA premiere's advance sales had already crossed half a million USD with an additional $200K in weekend sales totaling approximately 19000 tickets sold.
With only 26 days until the US premieres the decision to postpone Salaar has left fans and overseas distributors in suspense. While the Salaar team is actively considering alternative release dates rumors suggest January 12 as a potential option.
If this materializes it could set the stage for the biggest clash of 2024 during Sankranthi. The uncertainty surrounding Salaar's release has added an unexpected twist to the film's journey leaving fans eagerly anticipating updates and the resolution of this intriguing saga
