Sivakarthikeyan’s Velaikkaran confirms December 22nd release

Sivakarthikeyan’s Velaikkaran has been confirmed to hit screens on December 22nd for the Christmas weekend. The makers released an official statement explaining the cause of delay and apologized for the same graciously.

“24AM STUDIOS has a policy of honoring commitments and making films with utmost care in quality. Our film, “Velaikkaran” starring Sivakarthikeyan, Nayanthara, Fahadh Faasil and others, is in its post-production stage and two songs are yet to be picturized. After the great success of Thani Oruvan, director Mohan Raja and the team feel even more responsible for delivering the best and hence, are in the process of fine tuning every aspect of the film. Also, the new online procedure of obtaining the Censor Certificate takes 3 to 4 weeks time. Owing to these multiple reasons we are unable to release the film on 29th September as planned,” read a statement from 24 AM Studios.

“We sincerely apologize to each and every one of you for this delay. We think it is our duty to explain to you the reasons for the delay and hence this open letter. This being a big budget film we are waiting for the next festival period for the release. With a few big releases already scheduled for this Diwali in October, and with no big festival in November, we have no choice but to wait until December. So, based on the distributors’ and exhibitors’ request, we plan to release the film on 22nd December 2017, during Christmas Holidays. Our sincere apologies again to all the fans and audience, for making you wait longer, but we are sure we will compensate by assuring you one of the best entertainers of the year. Seeking your massive support as always.”
