Ajay Devgn's Son Of Sardaar 2 has encountered yet another hurdle just days before release. The film, which is releasing on 1st August is struggling to get screens as exhibitors are not willing to provide more than 35 per cent. The reason for the same is stated to be the massive success of Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha

Son Of Sardaar 2
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s Saiyaara is truly wreaking havoc at the box office, propelling other film to change their release plans. After seeing the humongous response the film is getting, Ajay Devgn starrer Son Of Sardaar 2 release got postponed. Now, just 2 days ahead of release the film is struggling to get screens.
As per reports in Pinkvilla, “Saiyaara is running strong at the box office, and exhibitors are not willing to let go of the romantic saga in the third week too. Mahavatar Narsimha is also beginning to gain momentum, and with audience demand, there is a spike in showcasing for the film.”
The source further added that PVR Inox is demanding 60 percent of shows while exhibitors are not allotting beyond 35 percent. “Being a comedy film from a franchise with Ajay Devgn in the lead, PVRInox is demanding 60 per cent of the total showcasing, however, exhibitors are willing allot not more than 35 per cent of shows at their properties. While some single screens have agreed on two-shows per-day, the non-national chains are willing to give not more than 35 per cent shows to Son of Sardaar 2. This has left PVRInox fuming, and the fight is on to secure more shows.”
