The postponement of the film was inevitable, and even before the official statement, trade pundits, and analysts had forseen the fate of 'RRR.' As per the report of News18, producer and box-office expert, Girish Johar said that film's delay is inevitable. "While there is no official word from the makers of the film, there has been a lot of talk among the trade circles that RRR has got postponed indefinitely as several states in the country are going for restrictions." He further added that the delay will cause heavy loss to makers, and there might be a formal announcement soon."RRR is a major tent-pole film. It is one of the costliest films ever made in Indian cinema. The makers have done aggressive promotions and even requested a few films to push their release dates forward so that they could get a solo release."

After Shahid Kapoor's 'Jersey,' this is the second setback for moviegoers, and the news will disappoint many people. But, health and safety are important than entertainment, and the delay is a practical decision. Ram Charan, Jr NTR starrer 'RRR' also stars Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn in extended cameos.
