Due to the
increased number of covid cases in the country, many states imposed
restrictions on mass gatherings. Adding to it, some states also shut down the
cinema halls. These restrictions also made the makers of the movies suffer. Talking
about the loss the makers of RRR also suffered a huge loss due to the covid
spike.
The movie
was supposed to release on 7 January, but due to covid, the makers postponed
the release date of the film for an indefinite period. After the postpone, the
makers suffered a loss of Rs100 crores in total. For around a month, the star
cast of the movie with the Director SS Rajamouli is out for their promotions. They
almost spent a total of 20 crores on the promotions of the movies which are now
seen as complete waste as the picture is postponed for an indefinite period. They
participated in TV Reality shows and also hosted live events for the coverage
of the movie.
Around 28-30
crores were spent on luxurious hotels and travel expenses. The star cast of the
movie went to almost all the big cities of the country including almost every
part of South India. The overseas bookings also made the team suffer a loss of
10 crores. The makers decided to refund the money to the customers who booked
their tickets. The makers have to negotiate the rate for their future release.
In Andhra Pradesh, the Government limited the
ticket rate. There the makers will also suffer as they have to adjust their
rate according to the state government guidelines.
Seeing
the current pandemic situation, it is assumed that the condition will get
better in April, so the makers have to wait for the coming months to schedule their
release date. As the movie is delaying the financers are facing more and more
losses. The movie is made with a budget of around 500crores. The movie casts Jr
NTR, Ram Charan, and Alia Bhatt in main lead roles. The new release date of the
movie is not released yet.
