Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s much awaited period drama ‘Shakuntalam’ will not release on the slated date of 17th February as announced by the makers today. New release date for the film remains to be revealed.
The postponement announcement was made today on social media wherein the producers cited no particular reason for the delay and only mentioned their incapability to release the film on the earlier announced date.

‘Shaakuntalam’ also marks the acting debut for Allu Arjun’s six year old daughter Allu Arha. Sekhar V. Joseph is the cinematographer for the film with editing by Prawin Pudi. The film’s music is composed by Mani Sharma.
Neelima Guna has produced ‘Shaakuntalam’ under her Gunna Teamworks banner with Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations serving as the film’s distributor. ‘Shaakuntalam’ will release worldwide in cinemas soon.
