Saaho out, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in: 3-way battle continues as Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt-starrer books Independence Day release

The Independence Day weekend had only recently loosened up a bit, but it’s back to square one, as three biggies would be pitted against each other again. After ‘Saaho’ got postponed by two weeks, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt-starrer 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' is set to join ‘Mission Mangal’ and ‘Batla House’ to make it a three-way battle on August 15.  The Quentin Tarantino venture was earlier set to release on August 9 in India, but sensing the opportunity left by ‘Saaho’s postponement, it seems the makers decided to change the release date. The news of new release date went viral on social media.

The Independence Day three-way clash has made headlines for a long time, tipped as an Akshay Kumar vs John Abraham vs Prabhas clash

However, ‘Saaho’ went out of this picture, when it got pushed by two weeks to bring ‘finesse to the action sequences.’ 

Not to forget, though on the digital platform, ‘Sacred Games 2’ is also releasing on August 15.
