Venkatesh starrer Narappa has joined a long list of films that have delayed their release owing to Covid’s second wave. A remake of Dhanush’s 2019 film Asuran, this action thriller was scheduled for a May 14th release.
The film also stars Priyamani, Prakash Raj and Murali Sharma in key roles and follows the story of caste-based discrimination and atrocities on a family. The makers of the film Suresh Productions announced this news on social media.
“In lieu of the pandemic, #Narappa will not be releasing on May 14th . A new theatrical date will be announced once we overcome this unprecedented crisis. Stay safe !,” said the post.
Narappa now joins Acharya, Love Story, Tuck Jagadish, and Virata Parvam who also have pushed their release due to the rising Covid cases. Meanwhile, the makers of Narappa are receiving great offers from OTT platforms for a direct release. Incidentally, Suresh Productions’ other remake Drushyam 2 which also stars Venkatesh is also receiving similar offers.
