‘Adipurush’ was originally slated to be released in August of this year, but it was moved back to allow the release of ‘Laal Singh Chaddha.’ Aamir Khan Productions published a statement about it on Instagram last month.
The film’s production team had said on Instagram, “This is to inform you that our film, Laal Singh Chaddha, will not be released on April 14th as scheduled. This is due to our inability to complete the film on time”.

“The film will now be released in theatres globally on August 11, 2022. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr Bhushan Kumar, T Series, and Om Raut, as well as the whole Adipurush team.”
Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya, and Mona Singh star in ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. It is the official Hindi version of the Hollywood film ‘Forrest Gump,’ which starred Tom Hanks.
Aside from ‘Adipurush,’ Prabhas is working on numerous projects, including Spirit, Radhe Shyam, and Salaar. He also has ‘Project K,’ directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone.
