Nagarjuna on the habit of delayed releases in Tollywood

At the success meet of Akhil Akkineni's Lenin, Nagarjuna praised the cast and crew of the film. He further praised The Odyssey and called out Tollywood’s habit of delaying releases. He said, “Requesting technicians, directors, and musicians… If we hand over the film at least two weeks before release to the post-production team, they will carve at it till perfection. This is not about anyone else; it’s about me too. I also worked on this film till the last minute. The Odyssey recently released. They announced the release date a year ahead. Why aren’t we able to do that? And when we do, why do we have to postpone it?”
