Mumbai Actor Rana Daggubati’s upcoming action spectacle “Haathi Mere Saathi” has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak across the country, the makers announced on Monday, March 16.

Directed by Prabhu Solomon, the movie was scheduled to have a nationwide release on April 2 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

In a statement released by the producers, Eros International, the makers said the decision was taken in the interest and well being of everyone involved.

“In light of recent developments of COVID19 Coronavirus, our recent announcement regarding the scheduled release of ‘Haathi Mere Saathi’, ‘Aranya’ (Telugu title) and ‘Kaadan’ (Tamil title) stands changed.

Sincerely, the entire cast and crew that worked tirelessly to bring this story to you,” Eros said in a statement.
