Ram Charan's sports drama with Buchi Babu Sana, titled Peddi, will also hit the screens on March 27, 2026. This release takes place a week after Eid, and Toxic's clash with Peddi will also be an intriguing trend to observe at the nationwide box office.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War was initially supposed to release on Eid 2026 but later backed out, and it will now release somewhere in the middle of the year. According to the dates that were blocked by Bollywood, Bhoot Bangla, Awaarapan 2, and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hi Hai will entertain audiences during the Good Friday and Ambedkar Jayanti weekend.
