Rajkummar Rao's Prahaar Postponed Amid Crowded August Release Schedule
Rajkummar Rao's film Prahaar, inspired by public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam's landmark cases, was initially set to release on August 7, 2026. However, Maddock Films has postponed the release due to a crowded theatrical calendar, including nearby releases like Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Batwara 1947, and Awarapan 2. The makers seek a less congested window to maximize the film's impact. No official new release date has been announced, and promotional activities have been limited so far.
