<p>The makers of Shahid Kapoor's <em>Jersey </em>recently announced that the sports drama, slated to hit the screens on December 31, would release on a later date due to the increase in Covid-19/Omicron cases in India.

The team unveiled a new poster in which 'Darling' and Pooja Hegde are seen in a 'classy' new avatar. Their chemistry is hard to miss. The film--shot in Hindi and Telugu-- has garnered attention with its visually-appealing trailer, which suggests that it may prove to be a gamechanger for all concerned.</p>.<p><br /> It is scheduled to hit the screens a week after S S Rajamouli's <em>Rise Roar Revolt </em>(<em>RRR</em>). It remains to be seen whether the Jr NTR-starrer affects the film's performance. <em>Radhe Shyam</em> is also likely to face competition from Ajith's <em>Valimai </em>in the Tamil states. A lot will ultimately depend on whether more Covid restrictions are put in place in key markets such as Delhi, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and the Telugu states in the coming days.<br /><br />Radhe Shyam has been directed by Radha Krishna Kumar of Jil fame and revolves around the love story of two passionate lovers. The flick has piqued the curiosity of fans as it marks Pooja's first collaboration with 'Darling'. She had some time ago revealed the romantic scenes will be a treat for the class audience. This will be Prabhas' first release after <em>Saaho</em>. The actioner did well in the Hindi market but did not live up to expectations in other regions.<br /><br />Prabhas, meanwhile, is working on <em>Adipurush. </em>It <em>is </em>an adaptation of The Ramayana and features him in the role of Lord Ram. The <em>Baahubali </em>hero will be seen opposite Deepika Padukone in <em>Project K</em>, directed by Nag Ashwin of <em>Mahanati </em>fame. Prabhas also has <em>Salaar</em>, directed by <em>KGF </em>helmer Prashanth Neel, in his kitty. It is touted to be an actioner and marks his first collaboration with actor Shruti Haasan. The film is backed by Hombale Films and revolves around a 'violent man'.</p>
