Set against the picturesque backdrop of Azerbaijan, Vidaamuyarchi revolves around a couple — Arjun and Kayal. The pair are headed for a divorce after 12 years of marriage. Their equation is put to the test when Kayal is abducted in Azerbaijan by a notorious group. Now, it is up to Arjun to rescue her as he embarks on a challenging journey.
Originally slated to premiere in January, Vidaamuyarchi's release date was pushed back due to "unavoidable circumstances." Ajith Kumar's remuneration for the film is reportedly between Rs 110 to 120 crore. Vidaamuyarchi is made on a budget of Rs 200 crore.
Vidaamuyarchi marks Ajith Kumar's return to the silver screen after a 2-year sabbatical. The Tamil star was last seen in the 2023 action thriller Thunivu. Manju Warrier and John Kokken were a part of the project.
Earlier in January, Ajith Kumar was bestowed with the Padma Bhushan award — India's third-highest civilian honour. Reacting to the big achievement, the actor issued a statement expressing his gratitude for the recognition.

I want to thank my mother for her unconditional love and the sacrifices that enabled me to become all that I could be."
I am deeply humbled and honoured to receive the esteemed Padma Award by the President of India.
