Ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli's highly anticipated magnum opus, RRR, which was supposed to hit the screens on January 7, was eventually postponed due to the surge in the Covid 19 and Omicron cases in the country and the postponement turned out to be a big disappointment for the fans. Having a look at the current situation of the pandemic, the makers have now made a big announcement on the new release plans of RRR. Interestingly, the team has come up with two different release dates. March 18, 2022, and April 28, 2022, are the two release dates that have been announced by the makers of RRR.
If the theatres in the country are allowed to function with full capacity (100% occupancy) and the cases come down, RRR will release on March 18, 2022. However, if the theatres still function with 50% occupancy and the Covid situation is still intense, the film will be out on April 28. The official statement from the makers read, "If the pandemic situation in the country gets better and all theatres open up to operate at full capacity, we are ready to release the film on 18th March 2022. Otherwise, RRR movie will release on 28th April 2022".
Well, this is one of the first times we get two release date options for the same film, thanks to Covid 19. Depending upon the pandemic situation and the intensity of the cases, a final call on the release date will be taken in the next few weeks. Let us hope to see the film on March 18 as that will kickstart the summer mood with a bang. This announcement has made the fans and theatre exhibitors delighted, looking forward to the release. RRR features Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead roles and has music composed by MM Keeravani.
Produced by DVV Entertainment, this mega action entertainer features Alia Bhatt as the female lead, alongside Samuthirakani, Ajay Devgn, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, Olivia Morris, and Shriya Saran in pivotal roles. Considering the fact that RRR is Rajamouli's next after the massively successful Baahubali, the expectations are huge among the fans and trade experts.
