Let us tell you that several state governments have already imposed strict restrictions especially on occupancy in theatres owing to the surge in Omicron cases. On the other hand, the ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh was also another concern of the makers. Though there were also rumours about Prabhas-Pooja Hegde-starrer Radhe Shyam's postponement, the makers have re-confirmed the release date today (January 1) making it evident that the romantic drama will be hitting the cinemas on January 14, as announced earlier.

Coming back to RRR, the team members including Alia Bhatt, Jr NTR, Ram Charan and SS Rajamouli were on a promotional spree. For this, they were also seen gracing popular shows like Bigg Boss 15 and Kapil Sharma Show. Well, the release postponement has surely disappointed fans, however, the circumstances are such that it is safe to wait for the right time. Another section of social media users has also been expressing their support to the team.

RRR directed by SS Rajamouli was previously planned to release on January 7.
