This was, perhaps, due to its release date clash with Sundaram Master or Hrithik Roshan's Fighter’s slow reception, which is also a patriotic film on aerial strikes and battles. Operation Valentine, starring Varun Tej and Manushi Chillar is set for a solo theatrical release  in Telugu and Hindi on March 1, 2024.

The news was declared a while ago by movie critic Taran Adarsh, who revealed and confirmed more details. The film is produced by Sony Pictures International Productions and Sandeep Mudda of Renaissance Pictures.
