Kannada superstar Yash recently confirmed that his next ambitious film, “Toxic,” will arrive in theaters in all five languages on March 19, 2026, aiming for the Ugadi-Ramzan holiday period. This has made me rethink their release strategy for Bollywood makers, including Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who earlier announced March 21, 2026, as the release date for his next movie, “Love and War,” starring Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, and Alia Bhatt.
Ram Charan made a calculated decision to maintain a one-week gap between those two movies and announced March 27, 2026, as the release date for “Peddi.” It will be his next birthday treat to his fans.
Toxic and Peddi
It is expected one of the movies, either “Love and War” or “Toxic,” will reschedule their dates, and only one film will remain in competition that week. Along with one of these films, Ram Charan’s “Peddi” will occupy the theaters in the last week of March.
So, it will be tough for any other movie to arrive in theaters until the first week of April 2026.
Given this situation, it is expected that Nani’s “The Paradise” will move out of its intended release date—March 26, 2026. “The Paradise” is yet to commence the shooting. Srikanth Odela, the director, is planning to begin the movie soon.
Will Nani make a decision in this regard and announce a new date?
