Vijay’s Pokkiri Rerelease Date Revealed?

Vijay Thalapathy is making headlines not only for his upcoming movie but also for his entry into politics. Following the commercial success of Vijay’s previous rerelease, the makers are planning to rerelease his Tamil action thriller Pokkiri. Reportedly, this rerelease is set to coincide with Vijay’s 50th birthday, adding to the excitement among fans.

Directed by Prabhu Deva, Pokkiri was released on January 12, 2007, and received critical acclaim for Vijay’s performance. The film is a remake of the Telugu film Pokiri starring Mahesh Babu, released in 2006. Pokkri cast includes Vijay and Asin in the lead roles, supported by Prakash Raj, Nassar, Mukesh Tiwari, Vadivelu, Sriman, and Napoleon. Notably, Prabhu Deva and Mumaith Khan made cameo appearances in the film. On the technical front, Nirav Shah handled the cinematography, Mani Sharma scored the music, and Kola Bhaskar edited the film.

Pokkiri follows the story of Thamizh (played by Vijay), a man who will do any work for money. He meets a young girl named Shruthi and falls in love with her, but Shruthi dislikes violence. Additionally, a police sub-inspector named Govindan is pursuing Shruthi with the intent of making her his mistress. The film explores how Thamizh pursues his love for Shruthi and how he handles the threats from sub-inspector Govindan.

After its successful run in theaters, Pokkiri was later dubbed in Hindi as Wanted Baaghi, in Odia as Wanted Police, and in Malayalam under the same title as the Tamil version.

What is Vijay’s Pokkiri re-release date?

According to recent reports, makers have confirmed Pokkiri’s rerelease on June 21, 2024, marking Vijay’s 50th birthday celebration.
