It is broiling hot in Hyderabad. So, in a sense it is illogical to suggest that somebody has developed a cold feet.

But how else are you going to describe somebody who withdraws from a race at the last moment without any big reason?

Well, Soggadu's producers seem to have done just that.

After promising to release the film this week-end, the film's producers have decided that it may not be the right time to push into the theaters. So they have pushed the film back by one more week.

One of the reasons for putting off the release is competition (Sada Mee Sevalo and Chakram are set to make it to the cinema halls this weekend). But sources in the film's unit also say that some last minute hitch has delayed the film.

"If it is sorted out, the film may even be released this week itself," the sources aver.Any way, the film is now tentatively slated for release early April.

The film is important for Tarun and Aarti Agarwal, the hero and heroine of the film. They have their careers running on the film. A flop here may set them back a long way.

So they wouldn't mind the delay as long as the film goes on to become a hit.
