Budget increased by Rs 3324.88 crore
This has halted the film's production for a few weeks, further increasing its already hefty budget, which is reportedly close to Rs 3,324.88 crore ($400 million). “They are not happy as this will delay the production, which costs a lot of money every day,” a source told The Mirror.
Tom Cruise's return, delayed due to strike
Tom Cruise is returning as hero Ethan Hunt in the sequel to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Part 2 has been facing several difficulties since day one. There was also a delay due to the Hollywood writers strike last year, due to which the film's production was halted till July 2023 and the makers resumed shooting the film in March this year.
Will this affect the release of the film?
According to reports, before the strike, director Christopher McQuarrie had said that he had shot about 40 percent of the film. He also said then that the biggest and most difficult sequence of the film was yet to be shot. The film was earlier scheduled to be released in the summer of 2024, but Paramount Pictures postponed it to May 2025. Now it remains to be seen whether it is released on its scheduled time or not.
The cast of 'Mission Impossible 8'
In addition to Tom Cruise, the film also stars Ving Rhames, Henry Cherny, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Hayley Atwell, Shea Whigham, and Pom Klementieff, reprising their roles from previous films in the series.

This will be director McQuarrie's fourth 'Mission: Impossible' film since joining the franchise in 2015, which began with the first film directed by Brian De Palma in 1996. 'Dead Reckoning Part One' also faced similar difficulties. The shooting of the film was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Even then its budget increased to about $ 300 million. The film did not perform well at the box office due to its release right before 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer'.
