The recent floods have wreaked havoc in Punjab, leaving Punjabis across the globe—whether in India, Canada, America, or Australia—deeply affected. In response to the crisis, numerous celebrities have stepped forward to assist the impacted communities. With the emotional weight of this tragedy, the release of films feels like a secondary concern. Many productions are now being postponed, as people are simply not in the mood to watch films during such a devastating time.

Even in Canada, cities like Surrey, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and Winnipeg have seen Punjabis come together in solidarity, voicing their support for those impacted by the floods, emphasizing that entertainment can wait. Punjab is once again grappling with severe flooding, as residents work tirelessly to protect their fields and homes from relentless monsoon rains.

In light of these events, the team behind the Ammy Virk and Sonam Bajwa-starrer Nikka Zaildar 4 has decided to postpone the film's release and expressed their commitment to assist flood-affected regions. The film's producers, White Hill Studios, shared an announcement on Instagram, stating, “The entire team of Nikka Zaildar 4 has decided to postpone the release of the film to 21st October 2025 due to the unforeseen severe flood situation in several areas of Punjab. We believe that it is our duty to stand by the people of Punjab during these tough times.”

They further assured fans that they would visit the affected areas soon and provide aid, stating, “Therefore, the Nikka Zaildar 4 team has decided to visit the affected areas very soon and provide trucks full of rations and other necessary items to the people at the earliest. We stand with Punjab.” Originally set to hit theaters on 12th September, the film will now release on 21st October.

About Nikka Zaildar 4:Directed by Simerjit Singh and written by Jagdeep Sidhu, Nikka Zaildar 4 stars Ammy Virk and Sonam Bajwa, along with Nirmal Rishi, Sonia Kour, Nisha Bano, Sukhi Chahal, Gurmeet Saajan, Gurdial Paras, Satwinder Kaur, and Anita Devgan in prominent roles. The film is said to explore the journey of a Punjabi man whose indifference towards wrestling transforms when he falls for a Haryanvi woman deeply passionate about the sport.
