Ram Gopal Varma has been struggling hard to release his upcoming films Vyooham and Shapadham. Though all the legal hurdles were cleared and the release date was announced, the films were pushed to March at the last minute. The censor certificate did not reach the team, the sources but there are many other reasons for the film to be pushed. With many releases on Friday, Vyooham had no buyer and no takers to get a wide release. With enough controversies around and the trailer sounding uninteresting, the leaders of the official party too showed no interest.

Ram Gopal Varma announced that Vyooham and Shapadham will release on March 1st and 8th respectively. If the Election notification is out, the Election Code will be applicable and the films will not see the light. The rest of the hurdles have to be cleared if the Election notification is out. There are reports that the notification will be out before the end of next weekend and if this happens, Vyooham and Shapadham cannot be released in March. We have to wait to see what RGV will do to get a smooth release for these films.

Ram Gopal Varma’s upcoming film is titled Vyooham and the film discusses about the political incidents that took place after the sudden demise of YS Rajasekhar Reddy. A grand pre-release event took place last evening in Vijayawada and several leaders and ministers of YSRCP including Roja, Ambati Rambabu attended the event. Vyooham pre release event turned out to be a disaster after there were no audience and spectators. Grand arrangements were made but the entire Indira Gandhi Stadium was seen empty. The event was planned to start at 4 PM but it was pushed to 8 PM due to the lack of audience.

The YSRCP leaders tried hard to accomodate the audience and they finally completed the event with the lights shut. The speeches were completed in a hurry to complete the event. On the other side, TDP leader Nara Lokesh filed a petition in the Telangana High Court to cancel the censor certificate and stall the film’s release. The hearing on this issue will take place on December 26th. Vyooham was initially planned for November 10th release but it got pushed.
