Here is why this delay might be the best thing for the box office.
The "Dhamaal Times" Breaking News 📰
True to the film's eccentric vibe, the announcement wasn't a standard poster.
The Creative: The makers released a poster styled like a newspaper front page titled "The Dhamaal Times."
The Headline: "Breaking News: Dhamaal 4 in Cinemas 12th June 2026."
The Tagline: A hilarious caption accompanied the post:
"Ab Dhamaal bola hai toh karna hi padega... Jaldi bata rahein hain, phir Dhamaal machane bhi toh jaana hai!" (We promised Dhamaal, so we have to deliver... Telling you early because we have to go create the chaos!)
The Cast: Old Squad + New Blood
The "Adi-Manav" gang is back, but the family has grown significantly.
The OGs: Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh (Deshmukh Roy?), Arshad Warsi (Adi), Jaaved Jaaferi (Manav), and Sanjay Mishra are all reprising their roles.
The New Entrants: The sequel adds serious glamour and talent with Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Anjali Anand.
The Villain: In a casting coup, Ravi Kishan has been roped in to play the main antagonist, likely adding a Bhojpuri flavor to the comedy.
Why the Shift? The "Dhurandhar" Factor 💥
Trade analysts are calling this a "Masterstroke."
The Eid Jam: Eid 2026 (March 19) is already booked by two massive action spectacles: Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 and Yash’s Toxic.
The Safe Zone: By moving to June 12, Dhamaal 4 gets a solo release window in the summer holidays, perfect for its target family audience.
"Comedy needs space to breathe. Clashing with two violent action films would have been suicide," wrote a trade expert on X.
Plot Leaks: No More Jungle?
Rumors suggest the franchise is moving out of the jungle (Total Dhamaal) and into the city.
The Story: Buzz is that Ajay Devgn plays an IRS officer investigating a massive white-collar crime, leading to a cat-and-mouse chase with the four "good-for-nothing" jokers.
SantaBanta Verdict: A summer holiday release for a brainless comedy? It’s a guaranteed hit formula. We can't wait to see Ravi Kishan vs. Arshad Warsi!
