Dhamaal 4 postponed: Ajay Devgn-led comedy flick once again gets new release date in July 2026

The makers of the Dhamaal series have revealed a new release date for the fourth installment. Dhamaal 4 will now hit theatres on July 3, 2026, instead of mid-June as originally planned.

Why did the makers decide to change Dhamaal 4 release date?

The announcement follows the initial release notification by only 10 days. The makers had previously announced a June 12, 2026, release date for the film on January 17, 2026. On Tuesday, January 27, however, the makers acknowledged the change to July in a revised filing. The makers have stated that the new date was selected to coincide with a fortunate day, which they hope will provide an extra dose of joy and festivity to the premiere of the film.

Over the past two decades, Indra Kumar's Dhamaal film series has become an institution in the Indian slapstick comedy scene. Starting in 2007, the first installment, Dhamaal, chronicled the adventures of four sluggish friends as they sought hidden riches; the film went on to become a cult favourite. The 2011 film Double Dhamaal came after this. Total Dhamaal (2019) brought Ajay Devgn to the lead cast and increased the production size, causing the franchise to have a huge commercial revival. With worldwide earnings of nearly Rs. 200 crore, Total Dhamaal established a strong case for a fourth installment.

Which original cast members are returning in Dhamaal 4?

As with previous installments, Dhamaal 4 is an exciting ensemble comedy. Comedy mainstays Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Jaaved Jaaferi are all back for another round in this film. Sanjay Mishra, who garnered significant praise for his portrayal as "Babubhai" in previous installments, also returns.

Leading the charge once again is Devgn, whose production house is also co-producing the venture. Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Anjali Anand join the already diverse cast of the 2026 sequel. Upendra Limaye, Vijay Patkar, and Ravi Kishan are just a few of the character actors who make up the supporting cast, guaranteeing various regional and mainstream comedy styles.

Who is directing Dhamaal 4?

This could help prevent conflicts with other big releases in June. Dhamaal 4, featuring Devgn and the franchise's signature clean comedy, is expected to be one of the year's top earners in the comedy box.

What is the current status of Dhamaal 4's production?

The film is about to hit theatres all over the world in July, and production is winding down at the moment.
