'Most Eligible Bachelor' was previously postponed multiple times owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

It was initially scheduled to arrive in theatres on April 2, 2020 but was later pushed to January 2021.

The makers then twice decided to release the film earlier this year but the second wave of the pandemic impacted the plans.

The film reportedly features Akkineni as an NRI and Hegde as a stand-up comedian.

'Most Eligible Bachelor' is produced by Bunny Vas and Vasu Varma on GA2 Pictures.
