The
lockdown
imposed
by
the
Indian
government
due
to
the
Novel
Coronavirus
outbreak
has
given
the
worst
nightmare
to
movie
producers.
As
we
all
know,
the
government
has
asked
the
showbiz
industry
to
stop
shootings
to
curb
COVID-19.
Hence,
producers
who
have
invested
in
big
projects
are
facing
major
losses.
SS
Rajamouli's
directorial
venture
RRR
is
one
of
the
most
awaited
films
in
India.
Starring
Jr
NTR,
Ram
Charan,
Alia
Bhatt
and
Ajay
Devgn
in
the
lead
roles,
the
makers
have
almost
shot
80
per
cent
of
the
film,
except
for
a
big
scene
which
requires
many
foreign
actors.
Well,
as
the
film
is
based
in
the
pre-Independence
era,
shooting
with
overseas
actors
is
the
major
requirement.
However,
when
the
government
stopped
international
flights,
Rajamouli
had
to
put
the
shooting
on
hold,
ahead
of
the
lockdown.
RRR
was
earlier
scheduled
to
release
on
July
31,
2020,
but
due
to
the
delay
in
production,
makers
shifted
it
to
January
8,
2021,
on
the
occasion
of
Sankranti.
But
now,
it
seems,
RRR
makers
may
have
to
push
the
release
of
the
film
further,
due
to
the
spread
of
Coronavirus.
If
RRR
gets
postponed,
it
could
change
the
fate
of
actors
like
Chiranjeevi,
Prabhas
and
Nani.
According
to
a
Deccan
Chronicle
report,
Chiranjeevi,
Prabhas
and
Nani
are
eyeing
for
a
Sankranti
release
as
they
want
to
release
their
respective
films
on
a
large
scale
on
the
auspicious
occasion.
A
source
told
DC,
"If
the
RRR
release
is
postponed,
others
can
reschedule.
So,
a
lot
depends
on
RRR."
"Many
stars
like
Chiranjeevi,
Prabhas,
Nani
and
others,
are
awaiting
for
an
official
announcement
from
the
RRR
makers,
so
others
can
reschedule
the
releases," added
the
source.
Well,
Chiranjeevi
and
Prabhas
are
busy
shooting
for
their
next,
Acharya
and
O
Dear
respectively.
They
are
yet
to
finalise
their
release
dates.
On
the
other
hand,
Nani
has
three
projects
in
his
pocket
and
his
next
film
titled
V
is
set
to
release
after
the
theatres
open.
He
is
yet
to
finalise
the
release
dates
of
his
other
two
films-
Tuck
Jagadish
and
Shyam
Singha
Roy.
