Director S S Rajamouli’s pan-Indian film RRR (Rise, Roar, Revolt), scheduled to release in theatres worldwide in multiple languages on January 7, 2022 was postponed owing to rising COVID-19 cases in the country. Now according to a Pinkvilla report, the makers s have finally zeroed in on a release date, as RRR is all set to release during the festive weekend of Eid i.e. April 29, 2022. The film team was contemplating on various dates - February 25, March 25 and Eid - according to our sources, and they have finally locked the lucrative festive date of Eid for their biggie. Interestingly, the date coincides with that of Rajamouli’s last blockbuster, Bahubali 2: The Conclusion, which opened to a thunderous response on April 28, 2017.
The Eid holiday aside, the team of RRR will also benefit from the Labour Day and Maharashtra Day holiday on May 1, though that falls on a Sunday.
