The makers of 'Radhe Shyam' have reportedly decided to postpone the release of the film, owing to the spike in Covid cases.
The pan-India film starring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde, directed by Radha Krishna Kumar was scheduled to be released on January 14 this year.
The filmmakers cited the the growing cases of Covid infections for the delay. Many states have announced weekend curfews among other measures to contain the spread.
“We have been trying our best for the past few days but considering the growing cases of Omicron variant it looks like we will have to wait for our labour of love to get to the big screens.
Radhe Shyam is a story about love vs destiny and we are sure that your love will help us rise over these tough times together. Will see you in cinemas soon,” said UV Creations, the producer of Radhe Shyam in a statement on Wednesday.
'Radhe Shyam' is the latest in the line of big-ticket releases to be hit by the latest Covid wave. The release of 'RRR' starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, 'Gehraiyaan' starring Deepika Padukone and 'Jersey' starring Shahid Kapoor have all been postponed as well.
