The release coincides with the festival of Janmashtami and the film is expected to reap benefit of a 3-week open run until the arrival of Salaar on September 28. With Red Chillies blocking September 7 (as of now) for Jawan, the producers from Hindi Film Industry have chalked out a tentative calendar with announcements expected to be made one SRK makes Jawan official.

While Adipurush, Maidaan and Satyaprem Ki Katha are sticking to their already announced date of June 16, June 23 and June 29, the latest addition to June calendar is Dinesh Vijan’s Luka Chuppi 2 for June 2 release. It’s led by Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan. July has Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani with Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. August opens up with Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra’s Capsule Gill, which might be titled The Great Indian Escape or The Great Indian Rescue, followed by Animal and Gadar 2 on August 11.

Dream Girl 2 and Raula will also stick to their announced date of August 25, whereas one still awaits an update on Start Up, which is slated to hit the big screen on September 1. Jawan hits the silver screen on September 7, which automatically means, Fukrey 2 will move to a new date. Salaar will arrive as scheduled on September 28. The Sidharth Malhotra led Yodha also might see a change in release due to Jawan now.
