The makers described the film as a blend of “action, drama, and patriotism like never before,” and announced a theatrical release date of January 23, 2026. Presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with J.P. Dutta’s J.P. Films, the sequel is poised to captivate audiences with its intense narrative and emotional depth.
