The Corona Virus outbreak is taking a toll on the daily livelihood of people and it is starting to get intense all around the world. As a precautionary safety measure, most of the states throughout India have ordered schools, colleges, malls, multiplexes and theatres, to be closed until the 31st of March, in order to bring an awareness among the people. Similarly, a few theatres and malls in the outskirts of Chennai have also been shut down, in light of the Corona Virus outbreak. The recently released films (March 13 releases) have also recorded a very low occupancy in the theatres because of the outbreak and it looks like the trade will definitely face a huge dip because of that.

With all these happening around, various biggies like Sooryavanshi, V The Movie, were announced to be postponed for the obvious reason. The latest to join this list is Prabu Solomon’s multilingual directorial, Kaadan (Tamil)/Haathi Mere Saathi (Hindi)/Aranya (Telugu). The film’s production house, Eros International made the official announcement through a press release, which stated, “EROS International has always kept our audience's interest at forefront as a core value. Healthy and happy audiences have always kept us motivated to produce and distribute unique stories that have never been told before.

In light of recent developments of COVID19 Coronavirus, our recent announcement regarding the scheduled release of Haathi Mere Saathi, Aranya & Kaadan stands changed. In solidarity with our partners, exhibitors, distributors and audiences, we pray for health and happiness of all and as we are monitoring the situation, we do hope that we come back with a new release date soon. STAY HEALTHY, SAFE AND BLESSED. Sincerely, the entire cast and crew that worked tirelessly to bring this story to you “. Kaadan, which stars Rana Daggubati and Vishnu Vishal in the lead roles, was initially scheduled to hit the screens worldwide on April 2. The new release date is expected to be announced after the situation gets under control.
