Why Mass Jathara release been postponed?

Taking to X, Sithara Entertainments, a production house of Mass Jathara, revealed that the release has been postponed due to industry-wide strikes and unforeseen delays. "Due to recent industry-wide strikes and unforeseen delays in wrapping up crucial content, #MassJathara will not be arriving on its planned date of Aug 27th. But the team is working relentlessly to bring you the BIGGEST MASS FEAST in theatres soon! New release date will be announced shortly," read the post.

The union strike brought major films like Ustaad Bhagat Singh and The Raja Saab to a halt, with industry reports estimating losses of nearly ₹100 crore. The 18-day strike, which ended on Thursday, August 21, was called after the producers failed to increase the wages of the workers. The Federation argued that the wages of the workers had been stagnant for three years and demanded an immediate 30 per cent increase.
