Ajith Kumar’s Vidaamuyarchi to Premiere on Netflix Earlier Than Expected?

Ajith Kumar’s Vidaamuyarchi had a disappointing run at the box office, collecting less than ₹150 crore worldwide. Initially planned for a Pongal release, the film was postponed and finally hit theaters this month. Directed by Magizh Thirumeni, Vidaamuyarchi is inspired by the Hollywood film Breakdown and was released in Telugu as Pattudala, but the dubbed version failed to attract audiences.

According to Money Control, the film’s OTT release is now scheduled for February 28 on Netflix, which is earlier than the usual four-week theatrical window for Tamil biggies. This suggests that the makers are opting for a quicker digital release due to the film’s underwhelming box office performance. However, Netflix has yet to make an official announcement.

Produced by Lyca Productions, Vidaamuyarchi features Trisha as the female lead, alongside Arjun Sarja, Regina Cassandra, Aarav, Nikhil Nair, and others in key roles. Music for the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
