- No official update yet on when Telugu screenings will resume
Dulquer Salmaan’s action thriller "I’m Game" faced a major setback today as its Telugu release encountered unexpected cancellations. The film, directed by Nahas Hidhayath of RDX fame, was scheduled for a multilingual launch on September 3, but Telugu morning shows were abruptly pulled from theatre listings after the content failed to reach cinemas on time.
This development is significant as "I’m Game" was expected to make a strong impact across South Indian markets, with Dulquer Salmaan’s popularity drawing attention to its release. The delay affected not only Telugu screenings but, according to reports, may also be impacting other language versions, including the original Malayalam release. However, the exact status of those versions remains unconfirmed as of now.
Theatres removed several Telugu shows from their schedules, leaving audiences and exhibitors in limbo. The film features Kayadu Lohar as the female lead, alongside Antony Varghese, Mysskin, Kathir, and Samyuktha Viswanathan in pivotal roles. Music is composed by Jakes Bejoy.
As of this afternoon, there is no official update on when Telugu screenings will resume or if the content delivery issue has been resolved. Moviegoers are advised to check with local theatres for the latest show timings. Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
