Prabhas-starrer 'Radhe Shyam' is supposed to hit the screens on March 18. This is not an officially announced date. It's only a rumoured one. UV Creations and T-Series are yet to announce the final release date after duly consulting distributors and studying the effects of the third wave.

On Tuesday, however, Akshay Kumar's 'Bachchan Pandey' (Hindi) booked the slot. The action entertainer will hit the screens on March 18. Effectively, 'Radhe Shyam' now can't consider the same date without risking a clash. A clash between the two big-ticket films will eat into each other's revenue potential. It won't be a one-way loss. Both Prabhas and Akshay are big names in the Hindi market.

The fact is that we don't know for sure whether 'Radhe Shyam' is looking at March 18 as of now. The only biggie that has confirmed its new release date is 'Acharya', which will hit the screens on April 1. 'Roudram Ranam Rudhiram', 'Sarkaru Vaari Paata', too, are yet to finalize their new dates. 'Bheemla Nayak', starring Pawan Kalyan, is scheduled to arrive on February 25.
