While MGM, has not cited any specific reason for the postponement, but it is believed that resurgence of COVID-19 cases in several countries including the United States and China and detection of the Britain strain of the Virus might have compelled the producers to delay the release date.

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the movie industry, causing closure of theatres and multiplexes for months. Though, the Indian government has allowed opening of theatres from October, the footfalls are yet to be normalized to the pre-covid days. Due to this, release several big budget Bollywood and Hollywood movies have been delayed.
