The order has come as a shock to the fans and the theatres as the exhibitors have already planned to screen early morning shows to have a good fill in the coffers and to manage the influx of the fans.

Salman Khan reprises his role as Tiger in an extended cameo appearance in Pathaan, the fourth movie in the YRF Spy Universe that Aditya Chopra is bankrolling under the Yash Raj Films banner. 

The movie's story is co-written by Ahishor Solomon along with Vamshi Paidipally,  Karthik Palani handled the camera while KL Praveen handled the edits.

It's worth noting that the venture will have to contend with Ajith's Thunivu, which is also being released in Telugu under the name Thegimpu.

The censor board gave Thunivu a UA rating and a runtime of 2 hours and 26 minutes, while Vijay starrer Varisu, has a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes. The CBFC board recently gave it a U rating.

Mourning his loss, Varisu's director Vamshi Paidipally wrote, "You have left a void Sunil Sir...You have been a Brother and a soulmate."

The shooting took off on the floors in January after launching pooja ceremony in December last year

Now that it's been moved up to Wednesday, fans of both films are celebrating, but the box office battle hasn't changed.

"Love or blow, you should think twice before giving it to me. Whatever you give me, I return it in triple effect"

Sri Venkateswara creations banner, took to Twitter and shared the massive update the fans were waiting for long.
