The period drama, starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan, was scheduled for January 7.
The release of SS Rajamouli’s period drama RRR has been pushed after a record rise in the number of Covid-19 cases, partly due to the new and highly infectious Omicron strain. The Baahubali director’s new film was scheduled for January 7, and was meant to be released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. In a tweet, the film’s makers said, “Keeping the best interests of all the involved parties in mind, we are forced to postpone our film.” No new date has been announced yet. Several states have imposed new restrictions, including night-time curfews, in light of the increased caseload. For instance, Delhi has ordered cinemas that were operating at 100% capacity to be shut.
