EXCLUSIVE: Sunny Deol-starrer Gabru postponed; won’t release on May 8
Sunny Deol's stardom went on another level with the blockbuster success of Gadar 2 (2023).
His next, Jaat (2025), also had a decent trend at the box office, proving that the success of Gadar 2 was not a fluke.
The veteran star began 2026 on a rocking note with the Rs.
300 crore plus grosser, Border 2.
As a result, expectations are tremendous for his next film, Gabru.
The film was scheduled for release on May 8 and fans will have to wait a little more to experience the emotional drama as it has been pushed further ahead.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Gabru has been postponed and won’t arrive in cinemas on May 8.
The makers plan to lock the new release date in a few days, after which they’ll make an official announcement.
” Earlier, Gabru was supposed to release on March 13 and was postponed to May 8, possibly because the holy month of Ramzan was going on and moreover, the much-awaited film, Dhurandhar The Revenge, was to arrive in cinemas 6 days later, on March 19.
Gabru is directed by Shashank Udapurkar and produced by Vishal Rana.
In November 2025, Bollywood Hungama was the first one to break the news that Salman Khan has an entertaining and extended cameo.
At that time, a source told us, “There was a requirement of a star and the makers knew that Salman Khan fit the bill completely.
