Vijay’s action drama ‘Bairavaa’ is all set to make a comeback to cinemas on January 1, 2027, almost ten years after its original theatrical release. The re-release is expected to give fans another chance to experience the film on the big screen.
Directed by Bharathan and produced by B Venkatarama Reddy and B Bharathi Reddy under the Vijaya Productions banner, the film originally hit theatres on January 12, 2017, coinciding with the Pongal festival.
The narrative follows Bairavaa, a collection agent based in Chennai, whose life takes an unexpected turn after he meets Malarvizhi, a medical student. Through her, he becomes aware of the struggles faced by students at a medical college controlled by an influential and corrupt chairman, PK, portrayed by Jagapathi Babu.
Determined to help Malarvizhi and other affected students, Bairavaa confronts the powerful individuals behind the institution and takes up their fight against injustice.
Keerthy Suresh featured opposite Vijay, while the supporting cast included Daniel Balaji, Sathish, Thambi Ramaiah and Mime Gopi.
The film’s soundtrack, composed by Santhosh Narayanan, featured several popular tracks, including ‘Pattaya Kelappu’, ‘Nillayo’, ‘Papa Papa’ and ‘Varlaam Varlaam Vaa Bairavaa’.
The film reportedly earned more than Rs 100 crore within five to six days of its initial release. Its popularity has continued through television broadcasts over the years. SIM Cine International will distribute the film across Tamil Nadu for its January 1, 2027 theatrical return.
