Ana de Armas-starrer Ballerina, the much-anticipated spin-off from the john Wick universe, has officially rescheduled its india release to june 13, as announced by PVRINOX Pictures. Originally slated to hit theatres on june 6, the film’s new date gives it a little breathing room from other major releases. Ballerina, directed by Len Wiseman, is set in the gritty, high-octane world of assassins that fans have come to associate with the john Wick franchise. The movie takes place between the events of john Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, and features Ana de Armas in a deadly and dynamic role that fans are eagerly looking forward to. The film will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, ensuring wide reach across linguistic demographics in India.

The date change has brought unexpected relief for indian cinema fans and particularly for Kamal Haasan’s camp, as his much-hyped film Thug Life is scheduled to release on june 5. With Ballerina now releasing a week later, Thug Life gets a solo run at the box office for at least its opening weekend—a crucial time for word-of-mouth and collection momentum. Given Kamal Haasan’s legendary status and the strong buzz around Thug Life, the removal of a hollywood heavyweight from the immediate release window is seen as a strategic advantage. It avoids a clash that could have divided audiences, especially in metropolitan regions where hollywood action films like Ballerina also command a significant fanbase.

For fans of both indian and international cinema, the staggered release now allows breathing room to enjoy each film without overlap. While Thug Life will likely dominate domestic headlines during its debut, Ballerina is expected to carry forward the action legacy of john Wick and attract viewers seeking more of that slick, choreographed violence and mysterious world-building. With Ana de Armas stepping into a lead action role and the film boasting connective tissue to the original franchise, Ballerina has all the ingredients to stand strong on its own, while giving Thug Life the space it needs to make a lasting first impression.
