'Sarkaru Vaari Paata' was supposed to restart its new schedule in the last week of March. The month is almost coming to an end and there is no certainty over when Mahesh Babu will set the ball rolling with respect to the non-starter of a schedule.

Reportedly, the makers are waiting for the second wave of coronavirus to start showing signs of receding before they can make a call on the new schedule. Director Parasuram Petla had finalized some locations in a foreign country, besides planning a schedule in Goa. With the pandemic unexpectedly baring its fangs this Summer, the crew can't obviously go ahead with its plans.

Earlier this year, in February, a grand Dubai schedule was wrapped up. Both Mahesh and his romantic pair, Keerthy Suresh, participated in it.

Meanwhile, there are rumours that there is a mild casino element in the film.

In an interview most recently, music director S Thaman said that music updates about the film will be out starting from August. The Sankranthi 2022 release has got Subbaraju and Vennela Kishore in key roles.
