Velaikkaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Nayanthara, which was scheduled to release on September 29, has now been postponed to December. Apparently, director Mohan Raja, who is at the helm, needs some more time to complete the film.
“We have no choice but to postpone the film to December,” said its makers in an official press statement. Bankrolled by RD Raja of 24AM Studios, the film’s release date was announced when the project was launched a year ago. Makers claim that they are not able to release the film as per the plan.

According to the press statement, the filmmakers said, “There are two songs to be picturised. After Thani Oruvan, there is a huge responsibility on Mohan Raja and his team. So, they are working very hard in fine tuning each and every aspect of the film. Also, the new online censor certificate will take two to three weeks to get. So, considering all these reasons, we are postponing the release date.”
Now, the film has been scheduled to release on December 22. “As this is a budget film, we are looking for a festival release. As other big films are scheduled to release for Diwali and there are no big festivals in November. We plan on releasing during the Christmas holidays.”
“Karuthavanellam Galeeja”, a single track, composed by Anirudh, from the film was released on Vinayaka Chathurthi.
