Mumbai: The makers of the upcoming magnum opus ‘RRR’ have postponed the film’s release date due to the closing of theatres in many states across the country in view of increasing Covid-19 cases. Featuring a stellar cast including Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, the much-anticipated film was scheduled to release on January 7, 2022.
Taking to Twitter, the makers issued their official statement for the postponement, which read, “Inspite 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.” Further, they thanked all the fans for their love and support.
Keeping the best interests of all the involved parties in mind, we are forced to postpone our film. Our sincere thanks to all the fans and audience for their unconditional love. #RRRPostponed #RRRMovie pic.twitter.com/JlYsgNwpUO

“Keeping the best interests of all the involved parties in mind, we are forced to postpone our film. Our sincere thanks to all the fans and audience for their unconditional love. #RRRPostponed #RRRMovie,” the tweet read.
‘RRR’ was originally planned as a July 30, 2020 release. However, the unforeseen delays, including those caused by injuries suffered by Jr NTR and Ram during production, forced the makers to push the release date. The makers then pushed the release date to October 13, 2021, but due to the theatres not being fully functional, the makers postponed that date too.
