Release Date Shift for Bollywood's 'Mere Raho' Due to Salman Khan's Film
Upcoming Bollywood Releases in 2026
Several major Bollywood films are set to debut in 2026, including the romantic drama 'Mere Raho' featuring Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan. Recent reports indicate that the release date for this film is being postponed. The reason for this change is the upcoming action film 'Battle of Galwan' starring Salman Khan. Initially, 'Mere Raho' was slated for an April release, but it will now premiere in July 2026.
Reasons Behind the Release Date Change
The adjustment is necessary because 'Battle of Galwan' is scheduled for an April release. This film is inspired by the book 'India's Most Fearless 3'. A source revealed to a Media House, "The producers had previously confirmed April 24th for 'Mere Raho', believing it to be an ideal time for its release. However, it appears that the film will now be moved to July 2026."
July: A Better Fit for 'Mere Raho'
The source further explained, "July is a more suitable month for a film like 'Mere Raho'. Such movies require ample time and appropriate screen space to succeed at the box office. The summer season will allow the film to thrive without the competition from festivals and holidays." This shift is expected to provide the romantic drama with a more favorable box office run.
'Battle of Galwan' Scheduled for April 17th
This decision also takes into account the busy film calendar of 2026. Salman Khan's 'Battle of Galwan' is set to release on April 17th, while other films like 'Raja Shivaji' and 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' are expected in May. The source mentioned that the producers likely opted for a date that would avoid direct competition.
'Mere Raho' Remake of a Korean Classic
It's important to note that 'Mere Raho', starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, is a remake of the 2011 Korean film 'One Day'. The movie was filmed extensively in Sapporo, Japan, during the Snow Festival. Announced in July 2023, it was initially titled 'One Day' and was originally set for a Valentine's Day 2025 release before being renamed 'Mere Raho'.
