Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha’s much-awaited comeback thriller Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness has seen a last-minute release date change. The film, initially slated for June 27, 2025, will now hit theaters on July 18, 2025. The announcement came through an official statement just one day before the release.
Official Statement by the Makers
The production house behind Nikita Roy shared a heartfelt post on social media, explaining the reason behind the delay. The statement reads:
“We find ourselves in a position where we are fighting for multiple releases and screens. Based on the advice of our well-wishers in the film fraternity, distribution, and exhibition sectors, we have collectively decided to postpone the release to July 18, ensuring we reach a wider audience.”
This move seems to be a strategic decision to give the film a fair box office chance, considering the crowded release week.
Kajol’s ‘Maa’ Sparks Fear of Box Office Clash?
Industry insiders and fans are speculating whether the buzz around Kajol’s upcoming emotional drama Maa forced Nikita Roy’s delay. Maa is generating significant traction on social media and is expected to perform strongly at the box office.
Additionally, the South Indian epic Kannappa, featuring Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, is also releasing the same week. Competing with such heavyweight releases may have pushed the makers of Nikita Roy to rethink their strategy.
