‘Baahubali’ entertainer Prabhas’ forthcoming film ‘Radhe Shyam‘, which was scheduled to hit the theatres on January 14, 2022, has now been delayed because of the third wave of COVID19 in the country and the lingering threat of Omicron variant. There were reports that the release of the multilingual film would be postponed in the wake of the pandemic.

After the makes of SS Rajamouli‘s ‘RRR‘ featuring Jr NTR and Ram Charan had deferred the film’s release a couple of days prior, the producers of ‘Radhe Shyam’ also have chosen to pull out from their planned release.
The official declaration read, “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 labor of love to get to the big screens. Radhe Shyam is a story about love vs destinu and we are sure that our love will help us raise over these tough times together. We will see you in the cinemas soon!!!”
