Dhurandhar 2 makers were banking big time on the premiere shows, but it seems they are set to suffer a major loss. According to the report, the premiere shows for the Tamil and Telugu versions have been cancelled, and only the Hindi version is set to release as per schedule today, March 18. Movie buffs who booked the tickets in advance for these languages are receiving messages from BookMyShow about the initiation of a refund.
According to a trade analyst who wrote on X, “#Dhurandhar2 Telugu content has been delayed, and the premieres have been cancelled. Most likely, the Tamil premieres will also be cancelled. Only HINDI version Premieres will happen today. This is a huge blow, especially after receiving a massive response and sensational bookings in both languages.”
It is being said that the content hasn’t reached the distributors yet, as subtitles are not in sight. The content will either arrive in the evening or early Thursday.
A user shared a screengrab of the message received from BookMyShow about the cancellation of the Telugu version ticket and refund status.
When checked, the news seems to be true, as in Noida, theatres have retained only the Hindi version and removed other versions.
The premiere shows were supposed to hit the theatres at 3 PM today across India, but with recent information, it seems Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam versions will not see the day of light before March 19.

SSR never had this problem. he delivers movie on time.” A third user requested, “Instead of the dubbed version, it will be good if they can play the Hindi version for today. Will it be possible?”
Meanwhile, makers have requested the audience not to leak the information and spread the spoilers. They further hinted at the third installment of the franchise.
