The makers announced the date on Wednesday by sharing a new motion poster on social media.
The poster offers a glimpse of what appears to be a happy family moment. Vijay Sethupathi is seen in a black T-shirt, smiling as he holds a little girl in his arms. Sai Pallavi, dressed in a saree, stands beside him, holding another little girl. Both children are dressed alike, with matching headbands and outfits.
While the makers are yet to reveal more details about the film's storyline, the first look has certainly added to the curiosity around the project.
