Superstar
Venkatesh
Daggubati's
Narappa
has
become
the
latest
to
join
the
list
of
films
that
have
been
postponed
owing
to
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19.
Confirming
the
news,
makers
of
the
rural
drama
took
to
their
social
media
handle
to
share
a
statement.
Stating
that
the
decision
was
taken
considering
the
safety
of
the
audience,
the
team
wrote,
"Narappa
is
a
film
that
we
have
made
with
a
lot
of
dedication
and
hard
work
and
your
love
towards
the
film
has
been
overwhelming.
However,
we
are
all
going
through
a
turbulent
time
during
the
unprecedented
global
pandemic
and
hence,
keeping
in
mind
the
health
and
safety
of
our
beloved
audience,
the
theatrical
release
of
the
film
has
been
postponed."
Though
the
team
didn't
reveal
the
new
release
date
owing
to
the
uncertainty
of
the
pandemic,
the
statement
further
read,
"We
will
bring
Narappa
to
you
just
when
the
time
is
right..
Until
then.
Be
safe.
Take
care
of
yourself
and
stay
strong.
We
will
get
through
this
together.
Stay
Home
And
Stay
Safe
#NarappaPostponed."
