Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Annaatthe has a new release date. The film’s production house Sun Pictures announced that the film will open in cinemas on November 4, 2011 during Diwali. Earlier the film’s makers had plans to release the film in January during Pongal holiday but the shoot delayed the film due to the coronavirus pandemic. The shoot was resumed in December but a fresh outbreak of Covid-19 among the crew members forced the film’s halt. Rajinikanth also was hospitalized in Hyderabad due to fluctuations in blood pressure.
