‘RRR’ release delayed yet again

SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘RRR’ has once again been delayed. Slated for a January release, with promotions in full swing, makers of the movie said they were “left with no choice” after several states imposed new restrictions to tackle the rising number of Covid cases. The announcement came days after Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Jersey’ was postponed following a ‘Yellow Alert’ in Delhi.
A statement released by makers of ‘RRR’ said, “Inspire of our relentless efforts, some situations are beyond our control. As many Indian states are closing theatres, we are left with no choice but to ask you to hold on to your excitement. We promised to bring back The Glory of Indian Cinema, and at the right time, WE WILL.”
The star-studded movie features Ram Charan and Jr NTR as freedom fighters Alluri Sitaraman Raju and Komaram Bheem, respectively. It also features Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn in cameos.
Riding on a massive budget of 400 Cr, ‘RRR’ was expected to release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
