She requested a postponement of the 'RRR' film's release and that the SS Rajamouli directed film should not be issued a censor certificate. The case was heard by Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Venkateswara Reddy. 

On January 7, the film was slated to be released in theatres. The film's release had been then postponed due to the Omicron fear in the country, as well as the Coronavirus outbreak.

As reported by National Herald, “They are all heartbroken, Rajamouli more so than others. The new release date had been announced after multiple postponements. The entire team was promoting the film vehemently, sure in the belief that now nothing could stop the release.” Sources say that the team is now exploring other release options for 'RRR' very seriously.
