Ravi Teja's Rama Rao on Duty gets a new release date; here's when the cop thriller will hit the screens

The release of Ravi Teja-starrer Rama Rao on Duty was initially announced as March 25 by makers. But after Rajamouli's team RRR revealed their plans to arrive on the same day, the former backed off. Later, they announced June 17 as the film's release date.

However, the date was postponed again owing to reasons best known to makers. Now, they have come up with a new release date - July 29. Ravi Teja took to Twitter to announce the news, "Duty begins from JULY 29th ! See you at the theatres (sic)." A new poster has also been attached to the tweet. 

Rajisha Vijayan and Divyansha Kaushik play female lead roles in the cop thriller which has Venu Thottempudi, Pavitra Lokesh, Tanikella Bharani and Nasser among others essaying important characters. Sathyan Sooryan has cranked the camera for the movie which has music composed by Sam CS and editing handled by National Award winning Praveen KL.

Leading stunt choreographers Peter Hein, Stun Siva and Anbariv are in charge of action sequences of the project which has been produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara Cinemas. Shekar and Shobi have choreographed dance moves for the film's songs.

The makers have released two songs from the film which was initially titled RT 68. Rama Rao on Duty is Ravi's second release this year after Khiladi (streaming on Disney+ Hotstar) which was released in February. The actor has Tiger Nageswara Rao, Ravanasura and Dhamaka in his kitty. 

The movie marks the sophomore project of director Sarath Mandava after Tamil film Ko 2 which was released in 2016. The teaser of Rama Rao on Duty was unveiled a few months ago. Fans of Mass Maharaja and other Tollywood movie buffs are now awaiting the movie's trailer.
