A massive film in the making ever since it was announced in 2018, Baahubali director SS Rajamouli's next magnum opus titled RRR under DVV Danayya's DVV Entertainment banner and starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR in the lead roles, was scheduled for a theatrical release on October 13. Billed to be India's biggest period action drama, the upcoming film coming out in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages had recently completed a schedule in Ukraine, with the makers on Saturday dropping yet another announcement in regard to the release plans.
The official Twitter page of RRR has announced that post-production works are currently progressing at a brisk pace, while also informing that there will be a change in the film's release plans. They tweeted, "Post production nearly done to have #RRRMovie ready by October’21. But as known to many, we are postponing the release but cannot announce a new date with theatres indefinitely closed. We will release at the earliest possible date when the world cinema markets are up and running." This latest announcement from the RRR team will no doubt come as a big disappointment for fans, who have been eagerly waiting to witness SS Rajamouli's next visual spectacle after his Baahubali films in 2017.
