Not sad about postponement of RRR, says Ram Charan

Actor Ram Charan has said he isn’t sad that the release of the highly anticipated RRR has been postponed once again. He added that the team had worked on the SS Rajamouli-helmed project for over three years and that it must come out at the right time. 

RRR, which stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan, was supposed to be released worldwide on 7 January, The release was postponed due to the sudden surge in COVID-19 cases across the country. 

Speaking at the pre-release event of the Telugu film Rowdy Boys; Ram Charan commented on the release of RRR being postponed again. 

“This Sankranti, our film should’ve been released. I’m not sad that it couldn’t make it. It has to come at the right time because we’ve spent three and a half years on RRR, and we worked really hard. I think elders like Rajamouli, and our producer Danayya will decide when the time is right for its release,” Ram Charan said. 

The film is a fictional story set in the 1920s and it is based on the lives of two real-life heroes Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. 

Talking about the project, Rajamouli had said at the film’s launch in 2019. “This will be a fictional story on the lives of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. There are gaps in the lives of these legendary freedom fighters that we don’t know about. We don’t know what happened in their lives in these years. It is through this fictional story we’d like to show what could have happened in their lives and what would have happened if they met and bonded.” 

The film, which has been dubbed and will be released in Hindi, also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Samuthirakani and Shriya Saran.
