Son of Sardaar 2 was initially slated for release on 25 July, but the release was postponed to 1 August. Jio Studios, the film’s producers, announced that the audience can buy tickets for the film at 50% off on BookMyShow for the opening day. “Laughter 100%. Ticket price 50%! Gather your full family and come watch #SonOfSardaar2. Use code SOS2 & get 50% OFF (T&C Applied),” they wrote, making the announcement. The code will offer up to ₹200 off and is only applicable when buying two tickets.

Son of Sardaar 2 to face-off Saiyaara and War 2

Son of Sardaar 2 is a slapstick comedy that hopes to bank big on the audience looking for some lighthearted humour. But given the film’s release timing, it will also have Ayan Mukerji’s War 2 to contend with in two weeks' time after its release on 14 August. The Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer is one of the most-awaited films in Indian cinema currently.

Ajay’s last film, Raid 2, made ₹173.05 crore net in India and ₹237 crore worldwide. It remains to be seen how Son of Sardaar 2 fares.
