{{/usCountry}}The film features an ensemble cast including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj and Narain in pivotal roles. It revolves around Thalapathy Vetri Kondan (Vijay), who takes on the responsibility of raising Viji (Mamitha Baiju) to become a strong and independent woman who joins the army. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he comes face-to-face with his old enemy, John Himmler (Bobby Deol).
About the delay
The film was stuck without a censor certificate for several months. Reports indicated that the film was first screened for the CBFC examining committee in December 2025. The committee reportedly suggested several cuts and indicated that the film could receive a U/A certificate once the changes were made. Producers are said to have accepted the recommendations and resubmitted the film.
However, the situation changed when complaints about certain scenes led to the film being referred to a revising committee, causing further delays. The prolonged certification process has disrupted the film’s release plans, international schedules, and distribution agreements. Vijay has since alleged ‘conspiracy’ over the film’s delay, blaming the then-ruling parties for it. He also alleged that news about his personal life was deliberately leaked closer to the elections. Then, HD print was leaked and arrests were made eventually. Recently, the movie's makers arranged a success meet in Chennai.
