Several speculations have emerged regarding the change in the release date of Siddharth Malhotra's "Yodha." Initially scheduled for release on December 8, the film was set to clash with Katrina Kaif's "Merry Christmas." To potentially avoid this box office clash, the release date of Siddharth's film may have been shifted. Notably, "Yodha" is not the first film to change its release date due to a potential clash. Previously, Ranbir Kapoor's "Animal" was set to release alongside "Gadar 2," but the makers changed the release date to December 1 to prevent the clash.

Previously, there was a clash between "Gadar 2" and "OMG 2," with "Gadar 2" finding success while "OMG 2" did not receive a strong response. Given this background, Siddharth may be seeking to avoid taking unnecessary risks. It's worth noting that Vijay Sethupathi plays the male lead in Katrina Kaif's "Merry Christmas."
