RRR’s
Ray
of
Hope
-The
Trial
Shoot
Later,
the
director
along
with
a
few
senior
members
of
Tollywood
film
fraternity

Chiranjeevi
and
Nagarjuna,
met
Chief
Ministers
of
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana
seeking
permission
to
resume
shoot
amid
the
lockdown.
Luckily,
the
heads
of
both
the
states
nodded
a
yes,
and
the
makers
of
RRR
planned
a
trial
shoot
to
analyse
the
situation
before
going
for
an
actual
one.
Rajamouli
had
even
expressed
the
joy
of
returning
back
to
the
set
location
after
months
through
a
tweet.
However,
the
sudden
spike
in
COVID-19
positive
cases
in
the
states
yet
again
halted
the
shoot
of
the
highly-anticipated
film.
Well
now,
there
are
reports
suggesting
that
the
makers
of
the
epic-drama
have
yet
again
postponed
its
release
from
Sankranthi
2020
to
another
date
due
to
shoot
delay.

one

the
lead

the

because
of
the
