Delay details
One of the studios couldn't deliver VFX on time
In a recent interview with Filmfare, producer Rajeev Reddy explained that the delay was caused by a studio's failure to deliver the necessary output on time. "We have been coordinating with multiple studios for VFX work, but unfortunately one of the studios couldn't deliver the output on time. It prompted us to postpone the release," he said. The film was earlier scheduled for an April 18 release but was pushed to July 11 before this latest delay.
