On Sunday, Sonam took to Instagram to share an official note announcing the revised release date.
The note stated, "The entire team of ‘Nikka Zaildar 4’ has decided to postpone the release date of the film to 2nd October due to an unforeseen severe flood situation in several areas of Punjab. We believe it is our duty to stand by the people of Punjab during these tough times. Therefore, the ‘Nikka Zaildar’ team has decided to personally visit the affected areas soon and provide trucks filled with ration and other essential items to those in need. We stand with Punjab.”
Bajwa captioned the post, “The release of ‘Nikka Zaildar 4’ is now scheduled for 2nd October 2025. In these challenging times, our team stands with Punjab and extends support to the affected families.”
Directed by Simerjit Singh, the film also stars Nirmal Rishi and Parminder Gill in pivotal roles.
