The cast and crew of the film including Alia, Jr NTR, Charan and Rajamouli have been rigorously promoting the film for the past few weeks. From the comedy shows like The Kapil Sharma Show to the reality TV shows such as Bigg Boss 15, the actors and the director of RRR have seen on the screen talking about their forthcoming film.

The unfortunate action has been taken due to the rapidly shutting down of the theatres in most of the states of the country due to the spread of the new virus.

Made with a budget of Rs. 400 crores, the period action drama film also features Ajay Devgn, Olivia Morris, Samuthirakani, Alison Doody, Ray Stevenson and Shriya Saran in significant roles.

Netflix will be streaming the Hindi version of RRR post the theatrical release, while ZEE5 has bagged the OTT rights for the South Indian languages of the movie.
