‘Top Gun: Maverick’, the Paramount Pictures film that is the sequel to Tom Cruise’s 1986 classic hit ‘Top Gun’, will be available in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam on Prime Video.

Prime Video shared the release date announcement on its official Twitter page late last week.

“All set to take-off on a new adventure and a nostalgia ride like never before. #TopGunMaverickOnPrime, Dec 26,” the streamer said in the tweet, according to a PTI report from Mumbai.

The action spectacle is set over 30 years after the events of Tony Scott-directed ‘Top Gun’ and sees Maverick training a group of Top Gun graduates for a specialised mission.

The follow-up features Cruise reprising his role as US Naval aviator Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell along with Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Monica Barbaro, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, Greg Tarzan Davis with Ed Harris and Val Kilmer.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is touted as the highest-grossing film of 2022, raking in reported earnings of USD 1.488 billion worldwide. It also received numerous accolades, including nominations for the Golden Globe Award for best motion picture-drama and the Critics’ Choice Movie Award for best picture.

The film was previously available to purchase or rent online on Amazon Prime Video.
