Sunny Deol’s popularity has soared with the massive success of Gadar 2 in 2023. His upcoming film, Jaat, also performed well at the box office, showing that Gadar 2‘s success wasn’t just a one-time thing. Kicking off 2026 on a high note, Deol’s latest, Border 2, grossed over Rs. 300 crores. This has raised expectations for his next project, Gabru, which was set to release on May 8. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer, as the film’s release has been delayed.
Sources have reported that the makers of Gabru are determining a new release date and will make an official announcement soon. Initially, Gabru was scheduled for March 13, but was postponed to May 8, likely due to the holy month of Ramzan, as well as the release of the highly anticipated film Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19.
Directed by Shashank Udapurkar and produced by Vishal Rana, Gabru will feature a special appearance by Salman Khan. According to insiders, Khan’s role was carefully crafted, and he filmed his scenes quietly over a year ago. His cameo is described as heartfelt and entertaining, consisting of three scenes.
Meanwhile, the May 8 release date is now occupied by Aakhri Sawal and Dadi Ki Shaadi. Aakhri Sawal stars Sanjay Dutt and others, while Dadi Ki Shaadi features Kapil Sharma among its cast.
As Gabru awaits a new release date, several notable films are lined up from June to August, including Sunny Deol’s anticipated movie Lahore 1947, produced by Aamir Khan and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. Additionally, Deol will portray Lord Hanuman in the upcoming Ramayana, slated for a Diwali release.
