Fans of Dhanush have been eagerly waiting for his upcoming movie, Idly Kadai, which was initially set to hit the big screens worldwide on April 10, 2025. However, the excitement has now been met with a slight disappointment as the makers have officially announced a postponement of the film’s release.
Why Was Idly Kadai Delayed
The delay in Idly Kadai’s release is primarily due to some remaining portions of the film that are yet to be shot. According to Aakash Baskaran, about 10% of the movie is still pending, and a crucial overseas sequence featuring key actors is yet to be filmed.
The team had planned to complete this last segment well in advance, but scheduling conflicts among the lead cast members caused unexpected delays. The film stars Dhanush and Nithya Menon in lead roles, with Arun Vijay playing the antagonist. Additionally, seasoned actors like Rajkiran and Parthiban play important supporting roles. Since this particular scene requires multiple actors to be present at the same time in an overseas location, finding a common schedule for everyone has proven challenging. Rather than compromising on the film’s quality, the production team decided to postpone the release to give enough time to complete filming without any rush.
Impact of the Delay on Other Movie Releases
With Idly Kadai stepping away from its original April 10, 2025 release date, the biggest movie benefiting from this shift is Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly.
Both films were initially slated for release on the same day, which would have resulted in a box-office clash between the two Tamil giants. Now, with Idly Kadai pushed back, Good Bad Ugly is set to enjoy a solo release, increasing its chances of performing well at the box office without competition from another major film. Trade analysts predict that this change could significantly impact box office collections, allowing Good Bad Ugly to dominate the screens, at least until Idly Kadai announces its new date.
New Release Date, When Can Fans Expect Idly Kadai
While the makers have not officially announced a new release date, industry insiders speculate that the movie will likely hit theatres by June 2025. Aakash Baskaran reassured fans that the remaining portions will be wrapped up soon, and an official announcement regarding the revised release date will be made once the final schedule is confirmed. Until then, fans are advised to stay tuned for updates from the production team.
What to Expect from Idly Kadai
Idly Kadai is one of the most anticipated Tamil films of 2025, not only because of its power-packed star cast but also due to the fact that Dhanush himself is directing the movie. Known for his versatility, Dhanush has proven his skills as an actor, singer, and filmmaker, and Idly Kadai marks another exciting directorial venture for him.
The film revolves around an emotional yet action-packed storyline, featuring intense conflicts between Dhanush’s character and Arun Vijay’s antagonist role. Shalini Pandey also plays a pivotal character, adding another layer to the film’s gripping narrative. With Dhanush and Arun Vijay sharing screen space for the first time, fans can expect powerful performances, intense action sequences, and a compelling storyline that blends family emotions with high-stakes drama.
