The re-release of Theri, a 2016 film starring Vijay, is facing uncertainty. Producer Kalaipuli Thanu is considering a request from filmmaker Mohan G to reschedule the re-release date. Mohan G's upcoming film Draupathi 2 is set to release on January 23, and he's seeking a bigger release window.
Mohan G appealed to Kalaipuli Thanu to support his team by rescheduling Theri's re-release, citing the need for a grand release in main screens. In response, Thanu stated that his banner V Creations encourages new filmmakers, emerging producers, and good films, and a decision will be made on January 19.
Draupathi 2, which reunites Mohan G and Richard Rishi after Draupathi (2020) and Rudra Thandavam (2021), was initially set to release on January 15. The film was pushed to January 23 to get a bigger release. Theri, directed by Atlee, was a blockbuster hit, and the duo reunited with Vijay for Mersal and Bigil, also massive successes.
The film also starred Samantha, Amy Jackson, late filmmaker Mahendran, and Radikaa Sarathkumar. Kalaipuli Thanu's decision on Theri's re-release is expected on January 19, leaving fans wondering about the film's fate.
