Chhaava’s New Release Date Announced
Vicky Kaushal’s highly anticipated historical action film, Chhaava, will now hit theaters on February 14, 2025. The initial plan was for a December 6, 2024 release, putting it in direct competition with Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule. However, the rescheduling of Chhaava gives Pushpa 2 a clear path for a solo release across Indian theaters.
