It looked like Rajamouli’s RRR would actually make it to theaters on 13th October, despite the delay in the shoot. Event the makers have been promoting that the film will release on the above-mentioned date. The recently released teasers and promos publicized the “13th October” release prospect. However, the latest developments are suggesting that the magnum opus creation might not be making it to theaters on 13th October. Reports are suggesting that RRR might get postponed to early next year.
Team RRR will be done with the Ukraine schedule in a day or two and is set to return to Hyderabad on the 19th of this month. The unit will then start working on a 3-day long schedule which will be carried out at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. The entire shoot will be wrapped up with this schedule. Once the shoot is done, Rajamouli, Jr NTR, and Ram Charan will be holding a press meet in which RRR’s new release date will be officially announced.
In all likelihood, Rajamouli might be announcing the new release date specified in the press meet. He might also speak at length about how the shoot progressed amid the Covid pandemic and their new release and promotional plan.
There are reports claiming that RRR might be postponed to Sankranthi 2022 or even next Summer release, but nothing is for certain for now. The makers of the big-budget periodic action thriller are keeping their options open for now and they intend to announce the release date soon after the shoot is wrapped up.
Now that RRR looks set to vacate the Dasara release slot, other biggies like Balakrishna’s Akhanda and Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Acharya, and others might lock the release window. We can expect official announcements from the makers of these films soon after team RRR announces that they are altering the release plans.
RRR is being mounted on a budget in upwards of Rs 400 crores and the stakes are exceptionally high on the Rajamouli starrer. So, the makers want to lock a well-rounded release date, which can boost the box office prospects of the film.
