Actor Vijay fans will have to wait a little longer for the re-run of the 2016 blockbuster ‘Theri’ in high-definition formats.
Producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu announced that the re-release, originally set for mid-January, has been postponed to a later date.
The decision was made following requests from other producers to allow more breathing room for smaller-budget films currently in theaters.
Thanu stated that as a veteran in the industry, he wanted to ensure “equitable screen space” and avoid overcrowding the theatrical calendar.
There were also reports of minor logistical delays regarding the updated censorship certification required for the re-release of the film.
Fans are particularly eager for this re-run as it features one of Vijay’s most celebrated “mass” roles directed by the hit-maker Atlee.
A revised release date is expected to be announced soon, likely during a window with fewer competing new releases.
