Lal Salaam, starring Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in the lead role, is finally set to arrive in theaters on a new date after backing out from the Pongal releases early on.

The film, which has Superstar Rajinikanth in a cameo role, is now set to arrive in theaters on February 9th, 2024. The makers themselves announced this update with an official tweet on their X (formerly Twitter) handle, "Namma THER THIRUVIZHA'ku Alappara kelappa neram vandhachu (The time has come for our festival)! LAL SALAAM hits the big screen on February 9th 2024! Save the date!"

Lal Salaam postponed to new release date


The film was initially planned to hit the silver screens for Pongal this year. It was expected to clash with big releases like Captain Miller, starring Dhanush in the leading role, and Sivakarthikeyan for the film Ayalaan.

The makers of Lal Salaam even initially reaffirmed they would be releasing the film for Pongal but seem to have backed out after acquiring the distribution rights for the films overseas.

The film also has an ensemble cast of actors like Vignesh, Livingston, Senthil, Jeevitha, KS Ravikumar, Thambi Ramaiah, and many more in critical roles.
