Ram Charan’s RRR Postponed, Trade Insiders Commented
Raj Bansal , A well-known exhibitor and distributor from Rajasthan, said,
“The makers of RRR must have spent about Rs 15 crore in publicity, but it is not about the money loss in publicity. A change of release date only makes the public lose interest in films. The decision should’ve been taken much before the advances were opened. Although an official confirmation is yet to come, but it is going to happen in all probability. As of today, the film has already lost 20-25 per cent of its business due to restrictions in cinemas occupancy”.
US is the center of the losses as RRR got a highest number of advance bookings, which now have to be refunded. Trade analyst Atul Mohan said,
“We have been given to understand that is about Rs 8 to 10 crore, and if the film gets pushed that could be refunded. But it is definitely a huge setback for the exhibition sector.”
