Haathi Mere Saathi, featuring Rana Daggubati, Shriya Pilgaonkar, pushed to 26 March

Rana Daggubati-starrer action drama Haathi Mere Saathi, which was scheduled to open in theatres this month, will now release on 26 March, the makers announced Wednesday.

After its planned April release was delayed due to the coronavirus induced nationwide lockdown last year, the producers had announced that the film would hit the screens on Makar Sankranti in January.

Daggubati shared the new release date of his film on Twitter.

Welcoming the new year and the new normal, we are excited to bring #HaathiMereSaathi, #Aranya, and #Kaadan on 26th March, in a theatre near you! #PrabuSolomon @PulkitSamrat @TheVishnuVishal @zyhssn @ShriyaP @ErosSTX @ErosMotionPics @ErosNow
