SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR to be released in theatres on 7 January 2022

Filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated Roudram Ranam Rudhiram (RRR) will finally be released in cinema halls next year on 7 January, the makers announced on Gandhi Jayanti on Saturday.

The new release date was announced by the film's official Twitter account with the latest poster featuring Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt, who play pivotal roles in the movie.

'Experience India’s biggest action drama RRR in theatres worldwide on 7th Jan 2022,' the tweet read.

RRR, which has been made on a massive scale and whose release has been repeatedly postponed, was last scheduled to be released on 13 October. The film is a fictional account built around two well-known revolutionaries — Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem — and set in the 1920s in pre-Independence India.

“There are gaps in the lives of these legendary freedom fighters that we don’t know about. It is through this fictional story we would like to show what could have happened in their lives and what would have happened if they had met and bonded,” Rajamouli had said at the film’s launch in 2019.

The film, which will be dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, also features Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Samuthirakani and Shriya Saran in important roles.
