Rajinikanth Lal Salaam hits Telugu roadblock - Joju - Gautham Karthik in Thug Life

Lal Salaam the Rajinikanth cameo film that is to be released on Feb 9th is likely to be postponed. Reason being that Telugu speaking States areas might not screen the film. Telugu film Chamber Dil Raju had got Ravi Teja’s Eagle out of the Sankaranti race promising that it will get second Friday of Feb a release date and that no other films will come on that date. He is already talking to two film producers of Yatra 2 and Tillu Square to pull back the films. We hear that Raju who is already standing accused of batting for dubbed films is likely to stop Lal Salaam release. Like Ayalaan and Captain Miller that decided to opt out of simaltenous release in TN and AP/ TS, Lal Salaam might do so. The latest information is Ayalaan is planning to be releases on 19th January, and Captain Miller is scheduled for 26th January release in two Telugu States. Meanwhile like in Leo’s case. Tamil Nadu has allowed an extra show for Pongal holidays as per request from Captain Miller and Ayalaan makers but no shows before 9 AM.
