Overview
- The film has been with the CBFC for more than five months after an examining committee complaint sent it to a revising committee, and it remains uncertified so it cannot be shown in cinemas.
- Tamil Nadu’s minister for film technology and the film’s producer have both said the movie will only be released after the CBFC issues a certificate and that no official date has been announced.
- Several ticketing platforms briefly listed tentative June dates, including a June 19 listing on one service, but those listings were not confirmed by the producer or by a censor certificate.
- The movie was leaked online in April, prompting a police probe that led to nine arrests and raising fresh commercial and legal concerns for the producers.
- Director H. Vinoth has declined to explain the situation publicly, and the certification delay is likely to affect the film’s box office window, international plans, and fan expectations while formal review and any legal steps continue.
