The release of Nandamuri Balakrishna's highly-anticipated film “Lion”, which was slated to hit screens on 8 May, has been delayed by a week due to financial issues.

Lion was supposed to release on May 8 and is now postponed by a week following the delay in post-production.

Having overcome that, the makers of the film took the first copy to the Censor Board, which gave U/A certificate for the movie. However, the makers have pushed the release  date by yet another week.
