Official! Dhanush's 'Idli Kadai' locks a release date

Dhanush is currently working on his third directorial titled 'Idli Kadai' and the film shooting is progressing steadily. Now, the makers have come up with an interesting update, and they have locked the film's release date. 'Idli Kadai' is to be released in theatres on April 10, 2025, for the occasion of Tamil New Year, and the Dhanush starrer aims for a long weekend. Dhanush's film locking the release date well ahead seems to be a warning for other biggies to stay away from the box office clash. However, let's wait to see whether any other biggie will decide to take on Dhanush's 'Idli Kadai' at the box office or it will have a solo release.


A poster featuring Dhanush from 'Idli Kadai' was unveiled by the makers to announce the release date, and it has officially confirmed the actor playing the lead role in his third directorial. Dhanush is likely to be seen in the character named Sivanesan, as hinted by the background of the latest poster.

Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' was expected to be released on April 10, but Mani Ratnam's directorial is now scheduled to release on June 5. The release date of 'Thug Life' was officially announced by the makers on Kamal Haasan's birthday (Nov 7). Dhanush's film decided to occupy the April 10 release, and locked the date a day after Kamal Haasan's film announcement.

'Idli Kadai' is reported to be a rural entertainer and the film also has Nithya Menen, Prakash Raj, and Shalini Pandey in crucial roles. GV Prakash Kumar is scoring the music, and the film is shaping up in a grand way.
