Owing to the second wave of the Covid pandemic, several Telugu films were bought to an abrupt halt as the conditions weren’t favouring film shootings. As for RRR, given the scale of the project and the amount of shooting part that was due, Telugu cinema followers came to an early conclusion that the film wouldn’t be releasing on 13th October, as announced by the makers initially however, the makers of the big budget project kept raising the hopes of everyone by repeatedly announcing that the film will indeed b releasing on 13th October. The newly released posters of the film and also the first video song from the film’s album, Dosti confirmed that the film will be releasing on 13th October. All the promotional material from team RRR implied that the film would be releasing on the aforementioned date.
Given all the publicity surrounding the release date, people started to actually believe that RRR might be releasing on October 13th, albeit with a hint of doubt lingering in their minds. But the makers of RRR then dropped subtle hints to the media, saying the film will not be releasing on the mentioned date. The shooting is yet to be wrapped up and the new release date of the film will only be announced after the shooting is done and dusted.
Now, the big question is, why did team RRR build up everyone’s hopes unnecessarily knowing full well that they can’t release the film on 13th October. Why did they keep releasing updates, saying the film will release on 13th October?
It is heard that team RRR wanted to lock Dasara release in case the conditions favoured new theatrical releases. They didn’t want to lose the Dasara release slot to any other film. The idea was to keep hold of Dasara release prospect no matter what. But after seeing the horror show of new Bollywood releases and the current situation in Maharshtra and other Norther Circuits as theaters are yet to reopen.Now, it is being said that RRR will be releasing in theaters next Ugadi season. It is speculated that the film has locked 1st April as its release date.
