SS Rajamouli’s RRR Release May Be Pushed To Makar Sankranti 2022; Here’s What We Know

Ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR is undoubtedly one of the biggest releases scheduled for this year. Starring South superstars N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan along with Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt, superstar Ajay Devgn and Olivia Morris, the period action drama is expected to hit theatres on 13^th October this year. However, heartbreaking reports now suggest that the film may not make it to the big screen on the decided date due to the situation that the second wave of coronavirus has caused.

According to a report shared by Bollywood Hungama, one of the actors told a writer, “How can it release on 13 October? Both Ramcharan Teja and NTR Jr have a lot of pending shooting for RRR. Ramcharan hasn’t shot much this year. He was busy with his other project Acharya (featuring father and son Chiranjeevi and Ramcharan). NTR Jr also didn’t shoot this year. The plan was for them both to shoot and complete the film by July 2021. This now seems unlikely with the new Covid upsurge.”

Adding that a digital release for the much anticipated film is out of the question, the source stated, “We may come for Makar Sankranti in January 2022. Even that is doubtful at the moment.” This is definitely going to break many hearts as audiences were eagerly waiting for RRR to release. However, keeping the current situation in mind, maybe it’s better to wait for a time when we can thoroughly enjoy the masterpiece without having to worry about the pandemic.
