In what could be considered a big blow for Prabhas's Radhe Shyam, the Bihar government has imposed night curfew and ordered cinema halls to seize operations effective immediately.
This could be considered a big shock in the last minute, given Prabhas's box office pull in this territory.
Prabhas's previous theatrical outing Saaho had collected Rs 4.75 crores in Bihar, which is an exceedingly good number for a dubbed film in the circuit. So, the stakes would be naturally high on Radhe Shyam.
But now that the Bihar government has ordered the seizure of cinema halls, it could affect Radhe Shyam's box office prospects in the North Indian belt.
With the Delhi circuit already closed and Maharashtra ordering 50% seating capacity at cinema halls, things are going haywire as far as the North Indian theatrical circuit goes.
The makers of Radhe Shyam have been stating that they are still hustling for Jan 14th release, but things don't look all that promising now. We need to wait and see if they will actually go ahead with their release plan now.
