After the monumental success of the ‘Barbenheimer’ event in July, it’s understandable that upcoming films in the year may appear less enticing. However, the month of August is not without its highlights. Bollywood is set to release two highly-anticipated sequels — OMG 2 and Gadar 2. In OMG 2, Akshay Kumar returns as a godlike figure, this time as Lord Shiva, to participate in an amusing courtroom drama at the request of a dissatisfied civilian. OMG 2 will be released in theaters on August 11. On the same day, Sunny Deol’s Tara Singh embarks on a journey to Lahore, Pakistan, to bring his adult son back to India amidst the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Gadar 2 also features the original cast reprising their roles.
In the Hollywood realm, Jason Statham takes the lead in an action-packed adventure as his research team travels to the depths of the Mariana Trench. However, they soon find themselves in a battle for survival against a group of larger and hungrier prehistoric megalodons making their way to the surface. Meg 2: The Trench promises thrilling and chaotic moments, and it will be released in theaters worldwide on August 4.
Despite its box office disappointment, the DC Universe is continuing to expand with the introduction of Blue Beetle to the general audience. This film breaks new ground in the franchise by featuring a Latino actor in the lead role. Serving as an origin story, Blue Beetle tells the tale of a high school student who discovers a mysterious blue scarab that grants him alien powers. Blue Beetle will be released in cinemas on August 18.
Other notable releases in August include the film adaptation of Gran Turismo, which stars David Harbour and follows the story of aspiring racecar driver Jann Mardenborough. It will be released on August 10. Additionally, Sony Pictures’ Heart of Stone, starring Gal Gadot as a secret agent, will be available on Netflix starting August 11.
