RRR Postponed Again, Will It Finally Release On OTT?

S S Rajamouli’s  RRR, the big-screen  explosion which has been  postponed several times  recently got a new release date : 13 October 2021.

With the pandemic showing no signs of  disappearing, the movie business  has begun to look at the question of theatrical release in a  new light.

With the two  August releases Bell Bottom and  Chehre showing abysmal  boxoffice  collections, stubborn filmmakers who were determined  to release in theatres are now  re-examining their  earlier stance.

S S Rajamouli’s  RRR, the big-screen  explosion which has been  postponed several times  recently got a new release date : 13 October 2021.But now it seems completely   out of  the  question that  this long-awaited film would  actually  keep its new date with the audience.

In fact one  member  of the  film’s team told me that  a call has been taken  to  postpone  the  film further.

“It’s  not releasing on 13^th or anywhere close to it. Almost everyone in the team  favours a digital  release for RRR except Raja Sir(director S S Rajamouli) who won’t  hear of it. But how  long can  we  wait for theatres  to re-open?” a source from the RRR team wonders.

In all probability  Rajamouli would just have to give in to  the idea of a digital release for RRR. That,  sadly, is the new normal and  he  would have to come  to terms with  it.
