As the 2026 pongal festival approaches, tamil cinema fans are gearing up for the re-release of Vijay’s blockbuster film Theri. Originally released in 2016, the film, directed by Atlee Kumar, became a massive hit and continues to enjoy a strong fan following. The producers have announced that the re-release will feature enhanced visuals and remastered audio, promising audiences a richer cinematic experience. Fans are excited to relive Vijay’s iconic action sequences, emotional scenes, and signature dialogues on the big screen once again.
Meanwhile, Vijay’s upcoming film ‘Jananayagan’, which was also scheduled for a pongal release, is experiencing continued delays. Sources report that logistical and distribution challenges have prevented the film from securing a smooth release, leaving fans and theater owners waiting for an official update. The delay is particularly disappointing as pongal is one of the most important release windows in tamil cinema, traditionally drawing large audiences to theaters.
Industry experts suggest that while Theri’s re-release is likely to draw huge crowds due to its nostalgic value and star power, the ongoing issues with Jananayagan could affect its box office prospects if not resolved promptly. Fans are hoping for a quick resolution so that both films can maximize their visibility during the festive season.
With pongal being a major cinematic event, the simultaneous anticipation for Theri’s re-release and Jananayagan’s premiere has created a mixed wave of excitement and concern among tamil film audiences.
