“We would like to start by thanking Mr Sivakarthikeyan for his humble gesture in helping us postpone the release date of DON, as the previously planned release date coincided with the release date of RRR (25th March 2022) and both the films are our esteemed projects. Dear fans & movie lovers, we are pushing the release date of DON to 13th May 2022. We hope you shower us with the same excitement & love as you always show us,” Lyca Productions, which has bankrolled DON, said on Wednesday in a statement.
