'Dhamaal 4': Ajay Devgn-Led Comedy Announces New July Release Date

Filmmaker Indra Kumar's Dhamaal 4 has changed its release date. The multi-starrer comedy, led by Ajay Devgn and also featuring Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaaferi, was earlier booked for a July 17 outing.

On Tuesday, the makers dropped character posters from the film and announced that the feature will now arrive in cinemas on July 10. Actors Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, Sanjay Mishra, Upendra Limaye, Ravi Kishan, and Vijay Patkar will also appear in prominent roles.

Dhamaal 4 faced a few date changes due to several major titles set to release in the same month. The YRF Spy Universe film Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Sharvari, was originally slated for July 17, but moved a week earlier to July 10 to avoid a clash with the highly anticipated fourth installment of Kumar's beloved comedy franchise.

However, the makers of Dhamaal 4 claimed the July 10 vacancy once Alpha announced its new release date of July 3.

With this, audiences will witness a packed four weeks in theaters, with the consecutive release of four major films. Cocktail 2 is set to release on June 19, followed by Welcome to the Jungle on June 26, Alpha on July 3, and Dhamaal 4 on July 10.

The original Dhamaal featured Sanjay Dutt and Ashish Chaudhary alongside the returning cast. Its sequel, Double Dhamaal (2011) retained the core actors, also adding Kangana Ranaut and Mallika Sherawat to the crew.

By the third installment, Total Dhamaal (2019), while Chaudhary and Dutt had stepped away from their roles, Kumar expanded the cast with Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Esha Gupta and Boman Irani.

The comedy-drama is jointly produced by Devgn, Bhushan Kumar, Indra Kumar, Ashok Thakeria, Krishan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Anand Pandit.
