It looks like Kartik Aaryan is trying to avoid a clash between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again. Both films are scheduled for a Diwali release, and their simultaneous debut could impact box office collections. While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 remains committed to a Diwali release, the team behind Singham Again, including Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn, are reportedly considering a change.
Recent reports suggest that Kartik Aaryan has reached out to Rohit Shetty, requesting a delay for Singham Again. According to a Times Now source, Kartik proposed moving Singham Again to November 15, allowing a two-week gap between the releases. This, he believes, would benefit both films by avoiding direct competition.
“Kartik Aaryan reportedly called Rohit Shetty and made him a request to postpone the release of Singham 3. While Kartik intends to release Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 on 1st November, he has made in a request to Rohit Shetty to release Singham 3 on 15th November. Kartik Aaryan said a two-week gap can help both the celebrities have a good opening for their movies, instead of clashing at the box-office which will affect both the movies’ collections. Rohit Shetty has heard him out over the call and told him, that he will get back to him,” the source shared.
Bollywood Hungama later reported that Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn might be open to the delay, although no final decision has been made. “Horror comedies are the flavour of the season post the release of Stree 2, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is something that can’t be taken lightly at this point in time. Singham Again team is looking at a possible solo release on November 15, rather than indulging in a clash on November 1,” an insider said.

The decision is still under consideration, with factors like potential box office performance and the current popularity of horror comedies being weighed. “Singham Again is a mega-budget film and the makers are weighing all the pros and cons before taking the final call. There is an analysis going on to determine the pros and cons of November 1 V/s November 15 release. A final call on the release date will be taken in the next 24 hours, but the matter of fact is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will be a competitor today due to horror comedies being the talk of the town. If Stree 2 with Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao can do Rs. 600 crores, then the sky is the limit for a much bigger franchise with Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri,” the source added.
