The surge in COVID-19 cases has resulted in strict regulations across India and some markets like New Delhi also decided to shut theatres.
Mumbai: Akshay Kumar's next 'Prithviraj' that was scheduled to release on January 21 has been postponed due to Omicron and the steep rise in Covid cases in India.
A source said: "When you have a sureshot blockbuster at hand that will appeal to audiences across the country, you can't gamble with such a huge product. 'Prithviraj' will massively aid in bringing people back to the theaters and it can't be released at a time when it won't fulfill this purpose. Business wise too it doesn't make sense to compromise a film that will rake in the moolah at the box-office.
"It's a no-brainer to postpone the film and gauge Omicron and the COVID-19 scenario before taking a call on the next release date of the film."
