Mumbai: Hours before release, multiple ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ Tamil and Telugu premieres were abruptly cancelled, leaving fans disappointed.
The sequel of the pan-India film, slated to release on March 19 in Hindi along with dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, had its paid previews scheduled today.
However, several theatres were forced to abruptly cancel their scheduled 5 PM premiere shows in Telugu and Tamil reportedly due to delays in the delivery of the regional versions, coupled with last-minute technical glitches.
Broadway Cinemas confirmed on X that the Tamil preview shows were called off due to the unavailability of content and added that Hindi preview screenings would proceed as scheduled.
The cinemas further assured that refunds would be issued to affected viewers.
Similar disruptions were reported from multiple locations across Tamil Nadu and the Telugu-speaking regions.
Soon, fans took to social media, expressing their disappointment under Aditya Dhar’s post, which urged audiences to avoid spoilers and teasing the future of the franchise.
“Bhai PREMIERE shows toh cancel ho rahe Hain aaj evening ke.. kuch karo uska,” wrote one user.
Another commented, “Sir, I have booked for #Dhurandar2 in Coimbatore Tamil Nadu for today preview shows in Tamil language now PVR team has informing us they have cancelled the shows for Tamil language today is this true sir ?”
One posted, “Premiers are getting cancelled some shows are giving refund please look into it.”
One user added, “Please Make Dhurandhar Available In Kannada Too Many Are Waiting For It.”
Starring Ranveer Singh as Indian spy Jaskirat Singh Rangi, the sequel follows the rise of his character as Hamza Ali Mazari after the death of Rehman Dakait, played by Akshaye Khanna.
