Yes, you heard it right. The court case against the Censor Board (CBFC) has been withdrawn today (Feb 10). But wait, this is actually good news!
🎬 The "Smart Move"
Instead of fighting a long and tiring battle in the Supreme Court (which could have delayed the film for months), the producers have decided to cooperate.
The Decision: They have officially agreed to send the film to the CBFC Revising Committee.
The Goal: By stopping the legal fight, they hope the Revising Committee will fast-track the process and grant the certificate within days. No more ego clashes, just business!
📅 The New Release Date? (Rumour Alert)
Now that the legal mess is over, the industry whisper is getting louder.
The Date: Strong rumours suggest the film is targeting a February 20, 2026 release.
The Context: This would give it a solo run before the March exam season hits.
The Cuts: The Revising Committee might ask for a few more cuts (especially regarding the "political" and "army" references), but fans don't care—they just want to see their leader on the big screen one last time!
📉 Why Was It Stuck?
For those living under a rock:
The film was supposed to release on Jan 9 (Pongal).
A CBFC member raised a red flag, claiming the film had "foreign influence" and "hurt religious sentiments."
The certificate was put on hold, leading to a massive court battle that ended today.
