Telangana Bill Likely To Delay Yevadu Release

The release of Ram Charan Teja-starrer Telugu action-drama Yevadu, which is slated to hit the screens on December 19, may be delayed if the Telangana bill is introduced by the central government next month, said its producer Dil Raju.

Talking about the confusion over the release date of Yevadu, Dil Raju told IANS, "I'm planning to release the film on Dec 19 if the Telangana bill is not passed. I haven't decided on postponing the film, but if the bill is passed and it is likely create some agitation, then I plan to release the film during Sankranti next year in January."

The United Progressive Alliance has taken a decision to carve out a separate state of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh. The move has not found favour with people from the Seemandhra region of the state. Yevadu was supposed to be released during August earlier this year, but it had to be postponed due to the matter. Now the bill for the creation of the new state of Telangana will be tabled in parliament during its winter session, beginning on Dec 5.

Yevadu has been directed by Vamsi Paidipalli. Besides Ram Charan Teja, the movie also features Amy Jackson, Shruti Hassan, Kajal Agarwal and Allu Arjun in the lead roles. It will be Ram Charan's third release after Naayak and Toofan this year, if it does not get postponed in December.
