Sharing the update, the team wrote, “Pallichattambi will be released in theatres on Vishu day. We have worked hard to tell the story of an extraordinary ruffian who was forgotten in the renaissance history of Kerala. Due to the election code of conduct, there are technical difficulties in obtaining the censor certificate. Therefore, the release of the film has been postponed to April 15, Vishu day. On this occasion, we hope for your support and encouragement.”
