Aamir Khan delays release of Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan starrer ‘Mere Raho’; here's why - Reports

Aamir Khan's son, Junaid Khan's film, 'Mere Raho', co-starring Sai Pallavi, will reportedly not be out soon. The movie, which was supposed to hit theaters on December 12, 2025, has been postponed to Summer 2026. As per the reports, the Bollywood superstar was behind this decision. Let's learn more about it.

Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi's rom-com gets postponed

According to a Mid Day report, Aamir Khan assumed the responsibility of the film's promotional and marketing strategy. A source told the publication, "December is a high-pressure corridor. 'Dhurandhar' was big, and Aamir had preempted it."




The insider stated that another rom-com of Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' was lined up for a December release. The report added, "Thus, it made commercial sense to declutter the calendar and avoid overlap, especially at the distribution and exhibition level."

The source of the publication further added, "July offers better legroom for a film like 'Mere Raho'. It needs time, repeat value, and controlled screen density. The summer corridor allows the film to breathe without the noise that comes with the festive and holiday rush."
