Don was supposed to be released in theatres on Republic Day (26 January 2022). The producers postponed the release date to Valentine’s Day weekend (14 February 2022), then rescheduled it to 17 February 2022, to coincide with the actor’s birthday.  Due to the COVID-19 lockdown limitations in India, the picture was once again delayed, and in late January 2022, the film was announced for a worldwide theatrical release on March 25, 2022. The release was again postponed to prevent a clash with S. S. Rajamouli’s RRR, which was set for the same date.
