Spiking cases, closure of Delhi theatres egg filmmakers to defer theatrical releases again. After Jersey and RRR, Attack and Prithviraj could bite the dust
Attack and Prithviraj are scheduled to release on January 28 and January 21 respectively
Barely five months ago, movie buffs were celebrating the reopening of cinema halls in the aftermath of a devastating second wave. Three days into 2022, and it appears as though the events of 2020 are unfolding again. After makers of Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey, and RRR, helmed by SS Rajamouli, post-poned the release of their films, other offerings lined up for a cinematic outing this month are also apparently heading back to their calendars. With cinemas in Delhi and Bengal being shut, this move only seems imminent.

A source tells mid-day, “Obviously, [Attack and Prithviraj] will follow suit. The films will incur losses if a sector as massive as Delhi is inaccessible. While the production houses are yet to announce their decision, all the films are possibly going to be moved.” Only if the lockdown leads to a timely drop in cases, encouraging governments to allow theatres to run, will the films stick to their schedule, adds the source.
