Dhanush’s “Idli Kadal” Set for April 2025 Release, Aiming for Tamil New Year Festivities
With a strategic release date and star-studded cast, Dhanush’s third directorial venture seeks a solo run at the box office, while sidestepping competition with Kamal Haasan’s “Thug Life.”
Dhanush’s third directorial project, “Idli Kadal,” is progressing smoothly, and the film’s creators have now confirmed its release date, sharing exciting new details. Scheduled for release on April 10, 2025, the film is set to hit theaters just in time for the Tamil New Year, capitalizing on the holiday weekend to draw in crowds.
The early announcement seems like a strategic move to claim the release slot, hinting at a preemptive tactic to avoid clashes with other big films. It remains to be seen whether “Idli Kadal” will enjoy a solo release or face competition at the box office.
To mark the date, the production team unveiled a poster featuring Dhanush as the film’s lead, officially confirming his role in his third directorial endeavor. The poster’s backdrop hints that Dhanush’s character, Sivanesan, will bring depth to the story.
Initially, Kamal Haasan’s “Thug Life,” directed by Mani Ratnam, was set for an April 10 release. However, following a recent announcement on Kamal Haasan’s birthday, the film’s release has been pushed to June 5, effectively clearing the April slot for “Idli Kadal.”
“Idli Kadal” is said to be a rural drama featuring Nithya Menen, Prakash Raj, and Shalini Pandey in prominent roles, with music by G.V. Prakash Kumar. The film’s cast and festive release date hint at a grand opening, building anticipation among fans and industry insiders alike.
