Vidaamuyarchi release date

It was initially announced that Vidaamuyarchi would be released for Pongal 2025 even if a definitive release date wasn’t given. As the date got near, fans became angsty to know when the film would be released. Lyca released a note on X that reads, “Wishing everyone a happy, joyous New Year! Due to unavoidable circumstances, our film Vidaamuyarchi will not be releasing on Pongal day. We wish all our fans and well-wishers a prosperous year ahead.” They captioned the post, “Kindly stay tuned for further updates! The wait will be worth it!”

Fans were disappointed to learn the news, flooding the production house’s comment section. “This is a humble petition from all #AjithKumar fans to permanently ban @LycaProductions from India,” wrote one frustrated fan, tagging PM Narendra Modi and Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin in the post. “Poor planning from Lyca,” pointed out another. “Kindly stay tuned for further updates. That further update: Vidaamuyarchi movie won't be released on Summer too,” commented an angry fan. Some also thought they should’ve made the announcement later, “At least you should have told this after a few days; you just spoiled AK fan's New Year celebration mood.”
