The anticipation surrounding Thalapathy Vijay’s final cinematic outing, Jana Nayagan, has reached a level rarely seen in the industry. Set for a massive global release on July 23, 2026, the film is being positioned as a historic milestone, marking the end of an era for one of cinema's most dominant stars. KVN Productions, headed by Venkat K. Narayana, has left no stone unturned in preparing for this farewell event, securing an expansive footprint of approximately 7,000 to 8,000 screens across the globe to ensure the film reaches every corner of his massive fan base. With a planned footprint of 7,000 to 8,000 screens, Jana Nayagan enters the elite league of the biggest Indian releases in history. While it sits just behind the massive scale set by Pushpa 2: The Rule, which holds the record with over 12,000 screens, and Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan with 10,000 screens, it stands in the same bracket as other recent blockbusters. For context, Kalki 2898 AD and K.G.F: Chapter 2 both released on approximately 9,500 screens worldwide, while the global phenomenon RRR occupied 9,000 screens. For a film primarily driven by the Tamil market to secure such a high volume of theaters globally highlights the sheer stardom Thalapathy Vijay commands on the international stage. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The scale of this release is truly global, spanning more than 30 countries. Early reports suggest that even with only limited locations and shows currently open, the worldwide advance booking has already crossed the 4 crore mark. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as full-fledged bookings in its primary fortress, Tamil Nadu, are expected to open only by Sunday, July 19. Industry insiders anticipate a complete shutdown of ticket portals the moment the Tamil Nadu bookings go live, given the emotional weight attached to this being the actors final film before his full-time political journey. In the overseas market, the United Kingdom is currently leading the charge. The official distributor, Ahimsa Entertainment, confirmed that the movie has already cleared 1 crore in standalone pre-sales. The demand was so intense that thousands of tickets were snapped up within the first hour of bookings opening. A major draw for the UK audience is the confirmation that the film will be screened completely uncut, preserving the original vision of the director without any modifications. This has only added to the frenzy among the diaspora. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Moving across the Atlantic, the situation in Canada is equally fascinating but follows a more structured approach. York Cinemas has introduced a unique phased booking system to manage the surge. For the first three days, access is strictly limited to VIP Members, specifically those fans who held tickets for the films previously delayed January release. This move aims to prioritize loyal supporters before opening general public bookings. Meanwhile, in Australia, ticket portals have gone live across all major theater chains, recording rapid sales that suggest a record-breaking opening weekend for an Indian film in the region. Back home in India, Bengaluru has taken the honor of being the first major city to open advance reservations. On July 16, tickets were quietly released for select screens, and the response was instantaneous. The highly coveted 6:00 AM First Day First Show slots were sold out in minutes, proving that the craze for Vijay transcends state borders. However, it has not been entirely smooth sailing, as Bengaluru's famous Victory Cinema has reportedly opted out of screening the film following a commercial dispute with the production house. While this is a loss for that specific venue, it has done little to dampen the overall spirit of the fans who are flocking to other available theaters.

The long wait for one of the most anticipated films of 2026 is finally coming to an end. KVN Productions has officially announced that Jana Nayagan, starring Thalapathy Vijay, will hit the big screens on July 23. The announcement was made with a powerful message describing the project as tested by fire and built for history. This official confirmation settles months of speculation regarding the release of what is widely considered to be the final cinematic outing for Vijay, who has now transitioned into a full-time political career after being sworn in as the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu following his electoral victory. Directed by H. Vinoth, the film is a political action thriller that has generated massive interest since its announcement. The project features an impressive ensemble cast including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, and Priyamani. The technical team is equally strong with Anirudh Ravichander composing the music and Sathyan Sooryan handling the cinematography. Originally intended for a Pongal release in January, the film’s arrival was delayed by seven months due to an unprecedented standoff with the censor board. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The censorship journey for Jana Nayagan has been particularly turbulent. After months of legal discussions and revisions, the Central Board of Film Certification recently awarded the film an A certificate. The initial runtime was reported as 183 minutes, but fresh updates indicate that the movie has been re-censored to include an additional 41 seconds of footage. This brings the final runtime to approximately 3 hours, 3 minutes, and 52 seconds. While Indian audiences will see the version with suggested modifications, reports suggest that some overseas markets will screen the original uncut version with a 15+ classification. However, the road to the official release date has not been without its share of administrative hurdles. For the past few days, there was significant confusion within the trade and among fans as overseas distributors and ticketing platforms were operating on a July 24 release window. In fact, bookings had already opened in several international territories like the UK and Canada for the 24th. The sudden shift back to July 23, just ten days before the premiere, has created a logistical mess for overseas distributors who now have to reshuffle screenings and confirmed bookings at the last minute. Industry trackers suggest this late change could potentially impact the initial screen count in certain international markets due to the sudden scheduling conflict.

As the film prepares for its massive worldwide opening, the primary focus is now on the advance bookings in the domestic market. With the release date now set in stone for July 23, the industry is gearing up for what is expected to be a historic theatrical run for the actor.

Sigma, the highly anticipated directorial debut of Jason Sanjay S, is reportedly set for a release date shift. Originally aimed for a July 31 release, reports circulating in the industry suggest that the film is likely being postponed to a window in August. This move is primarily intended to provide the action-thriller with a clearer theatrical window, ensuring it gets the visibility it deserves in a crowded summer season. The anticipation for Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan has reached a fever pitch following the official completion of its censor formalities. The film has reportedly cleared the CBFC with a U/A certificate, a rating that suggests high-octane action sequences balanced with elements suitable for a broad audience. With the path cleared, the production house has moved into its final distribution phase, and industry reports confirm that official communication has been sent to overseas distributors to prepare for a massive global release on July 24. This specific window is expected to witness one of the widest openings for a Tamil film this year, further cementing Vijay's status as a dominant box office force. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This official locking of the release date has triggered an immediate and significant domino effect across the Tamil film industry. To avoid a direct confrontation with the Jana Nayagan wave and the subsequent theatrical screen crash, several mid-budget and high-profile projects are reportedly backing out of their announced slots. GV Prakash's Immortal, which was originally eyeing a July 23 release, has now been postponed to a new date. Similarly, the pressure has pushed other major projects like Lokesh's DC and Sundeep Kishan's Sigma to reconsider their July 31 plans, with both films now expected to shift their arrivals into August. Adding to this list is Mysskin's Sathyavan Savithiri, featuring Keerthy Suresh in the lead was initialy planned for a July 24 release is also reported to be looking for a safer window. This tactical retreat by multiple production houses underscores the massive theatrical dominance predicted for the Vijay-starrer, as distributors prioritize screen allocation for what is expected to be a record-breaking opening week. The primary reason behind this strategic delay is the massive box office pressure expected from Jana Nayagan. To avoid a significant screen clash and potential cannibalization of ticket sales, the makers have decided to move Sigma to a later date. Shifting the release allows the film to secure a better number of screens across Tamil Nadu and other key markets. For a debutant director, having a standalone window is a logical move to maximize the impact of the film without competing for space against a major superstar release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sigma is being described as a high-octane, fast-paced action-adventure heist comedy. The narrative follows a charismatic and rogue maverick protagonist, played by Sundeep Kishan, who leads a team of quirky allies through deep betrayals and elaborate traps. The story is set across diverse locations in Tamil Nadu and Thailand, centering on a grand clandestine treasure hunt. Sundeep Kishan headlines the project as a fearless lone wolf, with Faria Abdullah playing the central female lead alongside him. The film boasts a strong supporting ensemble including Raju Sundaram, Sampath Raj, Shiv Panditt, Anbu Thasan, Yog Japee, and Sheela Rajkumar. Directed by Jason Sanjay S, who marks his official feature debut after completing filmmaking studies abroad, the project is produced by Allirajah Subaskaran under the premium banner of Lyca Productions. The musical landscape of the film is handled by Thaman S, who has reportedly composed an energetic background score and promotional tracks to match the film's heist-themed adrenaline. Fans are now looking forward to an official confirmation of the new August release date.

Reports circulating online suggest that a grand audio launch for Jailer 2 might be headed to Malaysia. News of preliminary discussions between Superstar Rajinikanth and Dato' Abdul Malik, the head of Malik Streams, has sparked widespread speculation that the team is planning a massive international event. If this move is finalized, it would mirror the highly successful promotional strategy used for the 2010 blockbuster Endhiran, which also held its audio launch in Malaysia. By choosing an overseas venue, production house Sun Pictures appears to be focusing on the film’s global distribution potential, aiming to further expand the massive international footprint established by the first installment. The move follows a prestigious tradition of high-profile Tamil film events in the region. Historically, Superstar Rajinikanth himself initiated this trend with the landmark audio launch of Endhiran in 2010 at the PICC Putrajaya. This was more recently followed by the massive event for Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan in 2025, which drew significant crowds to the Stadium Bukit Jalil. If Jailer 2 proceeds with its current plans, it would become the latest major production to utilize Malaysia's grand venues to kickstart its global promotional campaign. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The makers have already locked in a strategic release window to capitalize on a major holiday period. Jailer 2 is officially scheduled to hit theaters worldwide on October 15, 2026. This date aligns perfectly with the Dussehra and Ayudha Pooja festivities, a move designed to drive heavy footfalls during one of the most lucrative box office seasons in India. By securing this slot well in advance, Sun Pictures is positioning the film to dominate the screens, much like the original film did during its record-breaking run. One of the most exciting aspects of the sequel is the expansion of its cast into a true pan-Indian ensemble. Rajinikanth returns as the retired lawman Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, but he is far from alone in this high-stakes narrative. Industry reports confirm that Mohanlal and Shivarajkumar will reprise their popular roles as Mathew and Narasimha, respectively. Adding further gravitas to the lineup are veterans Jackie Shroff and Mithun Chakraborty, who are expected to anchor pivotal supporting threads. The sequel also introduces fresh faces to the franchise, with Vidya Balan, Vijay Sethupathi, and S.J. Suryah officially joining the main roster. In what is being described as a major highlight, Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan is reportedly locked in for a high-octane cameo appearance, further cementing the film's pan-Indian appeal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The core creative team remains unchanged. Nelson Dilipkumar returns as both writer and director, with a plan to lean deeper into his signature style that blends dark comedy with stylized, high-stakes action. Similarly, the musical landscape of the sequel is in familiar hands, with Anirudh Ravichander set to compose the entire soundtrack and background score. Fans can also expect to see returning favorites like Ramya Krishnan as Viji Pandian, along with Yogi Babu and Sunil, ensuring that the personal and comedic elements of the first film transition smoothly into this new chapter. The decision to potentially move the audio launch to Malaysia suggests a calculated effort to treat Jailer 2 as a global cinematic event. By combining a star-studded cast from multiple film industries with an international marketing campaign, the producers are aiming for a performance that transcends regional boundaries. As the project moves through its various production stages, the focus will remain on how Nelson balances this massive ensemble while staying true to the grounded, gritty roots of Muthuvel Pandian’s journey.

The anticipation for Jana Nayagan is at an all-time high as it marks the final cinematic outing for Thalapathy Vijay. Produced by KVN Productions and directed by H. Vinoth, known for his grounded yet high-octane action films, the project is being marketed with the evocative tagline - The Torch Bearer of Democracy. This political action thriller features a massive ensemble cast including Bobby Deol as the primary antagonist, alongside Pooja Hegde, Mamitha Baiju, and Prakash Raj. With Anirudh Ravichander returning to compose the music, the film is being mounted on a grand scale, serving as both a high-stakes entertainer and a symbolic farewell for one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. Thalapathy Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan, is gearing up for a massive theatrical release on July 24, but the viewing experience is going to be significantly different for fans in India compared to those overseas. As the film prepares to serve as a grand farewell to the superstar's acting career, it has undergone a rigorous review process by the censor board in India, leading to several notable changes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It is reported that the Central Board of Film Certification has granted Jana Nayagan an A certificate in India, but the approval came with 12 major edits that heavily target the film's political undertones. The board has reportedly ordered the complete removal or muting of the acronym TVK from both audio and visual tracks. While the acronym represents the character’s name, Thalapathy Vetri Kondan, its resemblance to Vijay's actual political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, is likely the reason for the censor. Furthermore, a specific sequence depicting the Indian national flag falling to the ground was deleted, alongside visuals showing disrespect toward a District Collector's insignia. The edits also extend to sensitive political and religious references. Mandated corrections were made to a book cover featuring the image of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, and a dialogue comparing Ambedkar's law to TVK's law was restructured. Other notable mutes include the phrase New India and controversial lines regarding making the country fall at one's feet or holding secret celebrations in the country. Even global and religious references were flagged, with a dialogue mentioning Saddam Hussein being silenced, along with terms like Om, Bhagavatham, and Ranganathar. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond the political content, the board ordered the removal of a graphic scene depicting a child being burnt and trimmed approximately 20 seconds from various violent action sequences to tone down the overall impact. The name Sheela Rani was also scrubbed from the film's audio and text throughout the production. Finally, two specific heavy profanities were muted to ensure the final theatrical cut meets the necessary standards before the film reaches the audience. However, the international audience will get to see the film in its rawest form. Ahimsa Entertainment, the distributor for the United Kingdom, has confirmed that Jana Nayagan will be screened completely uncut in the UK with a 15-rating. This means fans there will experience the action, the political statements, and the mass sequences exactly as they were originally shot. Similarly, Home Screen Entertainment is bringing the film to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Papua New Guinea, ensuring a wide global footprint for Vijay's swan song. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The marketing for the film in the UK is already leaning into this uncut advantage, promising fans the full Thalapathy craze one last time. While the Indian version will be a more polished or perhaps softened version due to the 12 edits, the core of the story is expected to remain intact. Given the immense buzz and the emotional weight of this being Vijay's final film, these censor details have only added more fuel to the ongoing discussions among the fans and the film trade. As the release date of July 24 approaches, the contrast between the Indian and international versions will likely be a major talking point. For now, the focus remains on the box office potential of Jana Nayagan, which is expected to shatter several records as the actor says goodbye to the silver screen.

For fans of Thalapathy Vijay, the journey toward his final cinematic outing has been a long and somewhat turbulent one. After months of uncertainty and legal discussions, there is finally a concrete update regarding his 69th film, titled Jana Nayagan. This project carries immense weight as it is expected to be his farewell to the silver screen before he transitions fully into his political career. The latest development comes in the form of the official censor certificate, which has cleared the way for the film to reach theaters after a significant delay. The film has been awarded an A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification, which is a notable departure for a Vijay starrer. Typically, his films aim for a wider family audience with a U or U/A rating, but the A rating suggests that director H. Vinoth has opted for a more intense and raw approach to the storytelling. This likely aligns with the film's reported genre as a political action thriller. According to the certificate details, Jana Nayagan has a runtime of 183 minutes, which translates to a total duration of approximately 3 hours and 3 minutes. For a political drama, this length suggests an expansive narrative that will likely touch upon several serious themes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It is worth noting that while an Adults Only rating is rare for the actor now, this isn't the first time in his career. Back in 2002, his film Bagavathi also received an 'A' certificate from the CBFC due to its high-octane and graphic action sequences. At that time, the theatrical version was cleared with seven cuts to moderate specific murder scenes. Interestingly, the film had to undergo a much more rigorous process later to obtain a 'U' certificate for television, requiring 32 cuts that heavily reduced or deleted various violent sequences. To understand how significant this certification is, we have to look at the hurdles the production team faced over the last several months. Jana Nayagan was originally intended for a major festival release in January, but it got stuck in a prolonged battle with the censor board. The disagreement reportedly involved several key scenes and dialogues that the board found sensitive. This led the producers, KVN Productions, to approach the Madras High Court to resolve the deadlock. After nearly seven months of legal back-and-forth, the certification was finally granted on July 9, 2026, marking a major victory for the makers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The technical and creative team behind the film is equally high-profile. Directed by H. Vinoth, the film features music by Anirudh Ravichander, who has become a staple for Vijay’s recent blockbusters. The cast is a massive ensemble featuring Pooja Hegde and Mamitha Baiju in lead roles, alongside Bobby Deol, who is expected to play the primary antagonist. Other seasoned actors like Prakash Raj and Priyamani are also part of the project, adding further depth to the political landscape the movie aims to portray. Reports suggest the film is a reimagined version of the 2023 hit Bhagavanth Kesari, tailored to fit the current political image of the lead star. Now that the legal and administrative blocks have been cleared, the release machinery has started moving rapidly. Confirmation has already been sent to overseas distributors to prepare for a grand release on July 24. This date is seen as an ideal window to maximize the film's reach globally before the domestic rollout. Distributors in major markets like North America, the UK, and the UAE are reportedly readying their schedules for what is being touted as one of the biggest Tamil releases of the year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond the domestic expectations, there is a massive historical record on the line in the international markets. With his previous two releases, Leo and GOAT, Thalapathy Vijay has already secured consecutive 5 million dollar overseas opening grossers. If Jana Nayagan manages to hit that same benchmark, he will become the first Indian actor to achieve a hat-trick of 5 million dollar openers. This is a milestone that even other major pan-Indian stars have come close to but haven't quite clinched. For instance, Prabhas registered back-to-back 6 million dollar openers with Salaar and Kalki, but that streak ended with RajaSaab. Similarly, Jr NTR saw consecutive 5 million dollar openings with RRR and Devara before that run was broken by War 2. This leaves the door open for Vijay to potentially create history and claim this unique record just as he prepares for his final bow. As Jana Nayagan moves toward its premiere, the focus will be on how the audience reacts to this more mature, adult-rated version of their favorite star. For Vijay, this film is more than just another commercial release; it is a statement and a bridge to his future endeavors. With the certificate now in hand and a release date locked, the final countdown for this political thriller has officially begun.

Chennai, July 9 - Thalapathy Vijay's much-awaited political action drama Jana Nayagan is set to arrive in cinemas on July 24. According to industry sources, exhibitors across key territories have now been informed about the film's release plan, indicating that the makers are moving ahead with the date after weeks of speculation. The confirmation comes after uncertainty surrounding the film's release schedule and CBFC certification. With exhibitors now notified, theatre chains are expected to begin planning show allocations and advance-booking strategies in the coming days. At the same time, the film's promotional campaign is also likely to gather momentum. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, Jana Nayagan stars Thalapathy Vijay, now the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, in what is widely expected to be his final film. The ensemble cast includes Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Priyamani, Prakash Raj, Narain, Mamitha Baiju, and Gautham Vasudev Menon, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. With the release date now locked, Jana Nayagan is gearing up for one of the biggest theatrical launches of the year. Trade expects the Vijay starrer to dominate screens across Tamil Nadu and overseas markets, with advance bookings likely to open once the remaining formalities are completed.

The release of Jana Nayagan, reportedly scheduled for July 23, 2026, is shaping up to be one of the most unique events in the history of Tamil cinema. Directed by H. Vinoth, the film marks the final on-screen appearance of Thalapathy Vijay. However, the context has changed significantly since the project began, as Vijay now serves as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu following his party TVK's victory in the May Assembly elections. This transition has placed the film under intense political and administrative scrutiny, leading to some unprecedented directives from the government. According to reports from industry sources like Valai Pechu, CM Vijay has issued a strict order to ensure that ticket prices remain within the government-mandated cap. Distributors and theatre owners have been instructed not to charge a single rupee above the permitted price, even for high-demand fan shows or early morning screenings. This move is seen as a strategic effort to protect his political reputation and maintain a clean image of governance. With opposition parties reportedly waiting for any signs of price gouging or illegal ticket hoarding to use as political ammunition, the state government has authorized surprise raids. Any theatre found violating these pricing rules could face the immediate cancellation of its operating license. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Chief Minister is also making a clear effort to separate his cinematic legacy from his current political office. Reports suggest that he specifically requested the production house, KVN Productions, to avoid using any Chief Minister title cards during his introductory scenes. Instead, the film will stick to his long-standing Thalapathy billing. While ticket prices in neighboring regions like Bengaluru have reportedly soared between ₹1,000 and ₹2,000 for early shows, the enforcement in Tamil Nadu is expected to be much more rigid to prevent allegations of corporate favoritism or exploitation. The road to this release has been exceptionally long and difficult. Originally slated for a January 2026 Pongal release, the film was stuck in a legal and censorship deadlock for months. Private complaints regarding the portrayal of the armed forces and religious sentiments led to a dispute that traveled from the Madras High Court all the way to the Supreme Court. The situation was further complicated in April when an unfinished cut of the film leaked online, resulting in an estimated revenue loss of ₹50 crore. However, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has finally cleared the hurdles, granting the film an A (Adults Only) certificate after several required revisions were met. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Suprith Mohan primary spokesperson , also recently addressed some of the misinformation circulating online. A viral image of a censor certificate listing 13 specific cuts was clarified to be a fake document based on the actor's previous film, Leo. As the team finalizes the last bits of paperwork and prepares for the July 23 global release, the focus remains on delivering a smooth theatrical experience. Given the high stakes involving both the box office and the political landscape of the state, the industry is watching closely to see how this final chapter of Vijay's acting career unfolds under such a heavy spotlight.

As we get closer to the big release of Love Oh Love on July 10, the lead actor Pavish Narayan has managed to spark a major conversation across social media. While the film was already being tracked for its quirky urban premise, Pavish has now added a layer of emotional connect with the audience by talking about his personal inspirations. Being the nephew of the National Award-winning star Dhanush, Pavish is naturally under the spotlight, but it is his recent tribute to Thalapathy Vijay that has really gone viral among Kollywood fan circles. In a recent promotional interaction, Pavish opened up about the work ethic he hopes to emulate as he starts his journey in cinema. He specifically pointed toward the legendary simplicity of Thalapathy Vijay as a guiding light. Pavish mentioned that despite being one of the biggest box-office icons in India, Vijay remains incredibly grounded on a film set. He shared a specific observation that even today, a star of Vijay’s stature is often seen carrying his own umbrella on sets. For a debutant actor, this level of humility is a massive inspiration, and these statements have clearly struck a chord with the massive Thalapathy fandom, giving the film a significant promotional boost just days before it hits the screens. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) For those of you catching up on the project, Love Oh Love is a romantic comedy directed by debutant Magesh Rajendran. It centers on the life of Raghuvaran, a corporate employee played by Pavish, who finds himself in a financial and legal mess. The story highlights the pitfalls of modern dating, where the pressure to maintain a lavish lifestyle for a materialistic partner leads to maxed-out credit cards and a lost job. Most of the narrative unfolds inside a police station as the protagonist recounts his disastrous four-month dating history, a setup that promises plenty of situational comedy. The film also features an interesting blend of fresh and veteran talent. While Naga Durga makes her Tamil debut after a successful stint as a YouTube star in the Telugu market, the supporting cast is filled with heavyweights. Having legendary directors like K.S. Ravikumar and Selvaraghavan acting in pivotal roles gives the film a lot of weight. Selvaraghavan’s portrayal of a police officer is especially being looked forward to, given his intense screen presence. The presence of Vanitha Vijayakumar and Adithya Kathir further ensures that the comedic elements are well-supported. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Central Board of Film Certification has cleared the film with a U/A certificate, making it an accessible entertainer for the 13-plus age group and family audiences alike. The production team, led by G. Dhananjheyan and Dinesh Raj, is currently in the middle of an aggressive multi-city mall tour across regions like Coimbatore, Madurai, and Trichy. Between the relatable credit-card crisis storyline and the viral goodwill generated by Pavish's comments on Thalapathy Vijay, Love Oh Love is heading into its July 10 release with a very healthy level of curiosity and buzz.
