Why does it matter?
Shahid Kapoor's Jersey was the first to announce a release delay. Soon after, makers of RRR issued an official statement confirming the project's delay from its January 7, 2022 premiere date for the time being. When this happened, everyone started speculating that the release date of the H Vinoth-directorial will be changed as well. But this clarification leaves eager fans elated beyond limits.

The film's Hindi and Telugu trailers will also be shared today, it added, but some other outlets reported the trailers will be out tomorrow.
