Ram Charan and Jr NTR's RRR will not release in 2020 and the same has been confirmed by the makers via a Twitter post. The historical drama directed by SS Rajamouli will now hit the screens on January 8, 2021, and it won't be a solo release. The film was earlier scheduled to hit the screens in July 2020 and lock horns with Ranbir Kapoor's Shamshera. However, a minor delay in their shooting schedule has resulted in RRR makers pushing forward the film's release date. The clash, however, is imminent for the project as it will now clash with John Abraham's Ek Villain 2. 

Recently Ekta Kapoor announced her collaboration with Bhushan Kumar's T Series for the sequel of Ek Villain which will hit the screens in January next year. Though no official confirmation about the star cast is out yet, there's a strong buzz about John Abraham coming on board for it. RRR is touted as the next big release in South considering it is Rajamouli's next directorial after the smashing success of Baahubali 2. The movie also has Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn in special appearances with British actress, Olivia Morris. RRR: Ram Charan and Jr NTR’s Irish Co-Star Ray Stevenson Has a Huge Marvel Cinematic Universe Connection – Read Deets.

No wonder the makers of RRR decided to book in the same slot.
