Project Hail Mary, which was initially scheduled to release in India on March 20, has been delayed. The change in date will help the film avoid clashing at the box office with Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which features Ranveer Singh in the lead role. The sequel follows the success of the spy action-crime film Dhurandhar, which was released in theatres in December last year and earned Rs 1300 crore worldwide.

The upcoming sci-fi film, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, will now arrive in cinemas later than planned. The shift comes after Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups was pushed to June 4, reportedly to ensure a wider audience amid the ongoing crisis in West Asia following the US and Israel’s strikes on Iran.

Project Hail Mary India Release Date

Sony Pictures India and IMAX India have announced that Project Hail Mary, in which Ryan Gosling plays the lead role, will now release in Indian theatres on March 26. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and distributed by Sony Pictures International Releasing, the film will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

“An update from Earth… before we head to space! We want this journey to be truly out of this world. Project Hail Mary will be in IMAX and cinemas on March 26, in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu,” Sony and IMAX said in a joint announcement.
