"A heartfelt request to all my dear fans. These are extraordinary times and safeguarding the health of you and your loved ones are the most important thing to do. Together we can fight this thing and come out stronger. Every year the love and affection shown by you all on the occasion of my birthday is something that I truly cherish. But this year, the biggest and the most valuable gift you can give me is to stay home and safe. I am also aware that many of you are disappointed about the lack of a first look or a teaser from RRR. Believe me when I say that the team is disappointed as you are. They have worked extremely hard and tried to come up with something worthy of the film. But social distancing guidelines and restrictions prevented the team from getting it done. RRR is a prestigious film that is being helmed by Rajamouli Garu. So, I have no doubt that you will be thrilled by the final output. Once again thank you for all the love
