Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga is all set to release on June 12, 2026. But, the film won't be getting a solo release. In an interview with The Free Press Journal Ali spoke about the box office clash.

A few months ago, when the release date of Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga was announced, it was the only film releasing on June 12, 2026. However, in Bollywood, the release date shuffle happens a lot, and now, three more films are slated to hit the big screens on June 12: Kangana Ranaut starrer Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Manoj Bajpayee's Governor: The Silent Saviour, and Vikram Bhatt's Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past.

The Free Press Journal recently interacted with Imtiaz, and when asked about the four-way box office clash on June 12, the filmmaker said, "These things are not in control. We announced first. Usually, in the film industry, there's a kind of bhaichara like 'meri film aarahi hai toh tu mat aa, next baar aaja' and that kind of thing, and it usually works. This is the first time I am hearing that other movies are also coming out on that day. But, if that is going to be the case, then so be it."

Imtiaz further explained, "There are only 52 weeks, and there are more than 52 films that are released every year. So, this is bound to happen."
