Gautham Vasudev Menon is one of the most famed directors of the generation. The filmmaker has been an active part of the industry for more than two decades now and has constantly entertained fans with a wide variety of films.
In 2019, GVM began shooting for a film titled Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha, with Varun of Bigg Boss fame in the lead. However, the film, touted to be an high-octane action entertainer, was delayed due to the pandemic, and other causes, before finally being completed in 2022. In the latest update, the Minnale director has taken to social media to reveal that the film is finally set to hit the silver screens on March 1st, this year. GVM shared the news via his official social media, with the caption:
“It’s Joshua time and everything else takes a back seat. #Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha, starring @iamactorvarun to release worldwide on March 1st!!”

What we know about Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha so far
It is understood that Gautham Vasudev Menon initially conceived the idea of Joshua with Arun Vijay in mind, having just worked with him in his previous film, the Ajith Kumar starrer Yennai Arindhaal. However, the film was later put on hold due to the director’s financial constraints.
Later, GVM decided to revive the story with Suriya in the lead, who refused to work in it as he found the story quite similar to his upcoming film Kaappaan. In the meantime, the Vaaranam Aayiram director had agreed to work on a film with Vels Films International, as its producer Ishari K Ganesh had intervened to help GVM overcome the financial constraints he faced during the making of Dhanush starrer Enai Noki Paayum Thota. However, the producer laid down one condition, which was that the film should star his nephew, Varun. Finally, the film began shooting in the latter half of 2019, but was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The film features Karthik, Raahei, Yogi Babu, Mansoor Ali Khan and more in crucial roles, apart from Varun. In 2021, the makers of the film had released an action-intensive trailer as well.
