The
fan
frenzy
around
challenging
star
Darshan’s
upcoming
action
entertainer
Roberrt
has
only
been
increasing
with
each
passing
day.
However,
due
to
the
outbreak
of
the
Coronavirus
Disease
2019
(COVID-19),
the
makers
of
Roberrt
have
cancelled
the
grand
audio
launch
event
they
planned
on
holding
in
North
Karnataka.
This
sparked
a
lot
of
speculation
about
the
film’s
release
date
getting
postponed.
But
now,
Roberrt
director
Tharun
Kishore
Sudhir
has
come
forward
to
state
that
the
film
will
indeed
release
as
planned
in
April
whilst
adding
that
the
team
will
officially
announce
the
same
once
the
movie
gets
the
censor
board
clearance.
Tharun
said,
“We
are
aware
of
the
Coronavirus
pandemic,
and
its
effects.
The
outbreak
of
the
virus
was
unplanned.
Though
theatres
are
getting
locked
down
for
a
week,
we
have
a
month
for
Robbert
to
hit
theatres,
and
I
feel
at
present
it
is
too
soon
to
talk
about
the
release.
As
of
now,
we
are
working
with
April
9
as
the
release
date.
Any
unforeseen
circumstances
will
definitely
be
taken
into
consideration.”

For
the
uninitiated,
the
Roberrt
crew
had
to
cancel
their
last
shoot
schedule
in
Spain
owing
to
the
coronavirus
outbreak.
The
team
has
since
moved
on
with
Kutch
in
Gujarat
as
the
alternate
location
for
the
shoot
of
the
last
song
of
the
film.
On
being
quizzed
about
the
change
in
plan,
the
director
replied,
“It’s
good,
we
did
not
go
to
Spain,
we
got
to
shoot
at
a
better
location
in
Kutch,
and
the
song
we
had
planned
got
filmed
better
than
we
expected,”
Produced
by
Umapathy
films,
Roberrt
is
all
set
to
release
in
Kannada
and
Telugu
simultaneously.
The
action
extravaganza
also
features
Asha
Bhat,
Jagapathi
Babu,
Vinod
Prabhakar,
Sonal
Monteiro,
Shivaraj
KR
Pete,
and
Chikkanna.
