'Appalraju' is out of Sankranthi competition

Ram Gopal Varma’s much-hyped KSD Appalraju won’t be releasing on Sankranthi. Earlier the producer Kiran Kumar Koneru said that the movie will be hitting the screens on January 12th. But latest we hear is that the movie has stepped out from Sankranthi competition. Due to strike in Tollywood, the movie could not complete the shooting and it is unlikely that it would wrap up the remaining shoot next month and be ready for Pongal. Hence Ram Gopal Varma has decided to release it after Sankranthi.
