Ravi Teja in 'Eagle'

The release of Ravi Teja’s upcoming film, ‘Eagle’ has been postponed. The film was supposed to be released in cinemas on January 13, but the makers have postponed its release to February 9. It is speculated that the date has been postponed because a lot of Telugu films are releasing on the Makar Sankranthi weekend.

Ravi Teja took to his social media to make this announcement. He shared a poster of the film and wrote, “Taking a step back for the welfare of our Telugu Cinema. A little change in the arrival not in the shot & target #EAGLE from February 9th,2024 :)))) Wishing the very best to all the films releasing this Sankranthi.”

If ‘Eagle’ was released on the Makar Sankranthi weekend, it would have clashed with films like ‘Captain Miller’, ‘Guntur Kaaram’, ‘Saindhav’, ‘Lal Salaam’, ‘Ayalaan’, and ‘Merry Christmas.’

123Telugu quoted Dil Raju, the President of Telugu Film Chamber saying, “We conducted a meeting with producers of Sankranthi releases a few days back. We explained to them the ground reality and how the release of five films could affect the revenues. People Media Factory and Ravi Teja Garu understood this, and they agreed to move to a later date.”

Dil Raju added, “We will allocate a solo release for Eagle. The movie will now be released on 9th February. Already, we spoke to the Tillu Square team as that film is also slated for 9th February release. Naga Vamsi agreed to postpone their film. We will soon have a discussion with the Yatra 2 producer to facilitate a solo release for Ravi Teja’s film. I request the media to not project this issue in a bad way. What we have done now is for the benefit of TFI.”

Helmed by Karthik Gattemneni, ‘Eagle’ stars Navdeep, Kavya Thapar, and Anupama Parameswaran in pivotal roles.
