Is RRR release for Sankranti is just a buzz?

0

SS Rajamouli’s RRR is one of the most awaited films across industries today. The film has undergone several delays and has pushed its release multiple times. The movie already has had three release day changes. Initially planned for 30th July 2020, the movie then moved to 8th Jan 2021. From this date, it was pushed to 13th October 2021 and now it will have one more change. This delay is facing major opposition from the distributors who are not happy with the continuous delays on the project.

While RRR release date was still in uncertainty a lot of Tollywood biggies locked the Sankranti 2022 release date. Now, suddenly reports have emerged that even RRR is eyeing that Sankranti slot. This has raised many questions about the makers’ decision.

Now we look into what industry circles talking about the reason behind this sudden Sakranti release buzz?

One of the primary reasons for this is the mounting pressure from all the distributors and exhibitors who have paid hefty amounts as advances for the film. The exhibitors and distributors are seeking a return on the advances paid to buy upcoming Sankranti releases and have stated that post the release of these films, they will pay back Danayya.To calm this noise, DVV Danayya, the producer of this big-budget extravaganza informed distributors that film is coming for this Sankranti without consulting anyone.

However, now the bigger question remains- Will RRR come for Sankranti?. While the Sankranti release date was mentioned only to evade distributors’ pressure, the only condition this could happen is if SS Rajamouli, Danayya, and other movie teams are on the same page and everyone agrees to this release date.

As per our sources, 29th March will be the date for the grand release of this Magnum Opus.
