Vikrant Rona Release Postponed Indefinitely Amid COVID-19 Scare

Kichcha Sudeep's highly anticipated film Vikrant Rona scheduled to release in theatres worldwide on February 24, 2022, has been postponed owing to the spike in COVID-19 cases. Over the last few weeks, rumours were rife that the makers might defer the release date due to the pandemic situation and restrictions imposed at public places that are not favourable for the film's grand release.

To announce the same, the makers on Thursday (January 27) evening took to their social media handles to issue a statement that read, "Despite our willingness to meet you all at the cinemas on Feb 24th, the present COVID scenario and the prevailing restrictions are not favourable for a grand release across the globe. We understand that the wait can be excruciating but we promise that the cinematic experience will be worthy of your patience. We will soon announce the new date on which the world will meet its new hero!"

#VikrantRona will meet you on a newer date.
