The Censor Board delay is so frustrating. Every Pongal, we look forward to a big Vijay release. It's become a tradition. Hope they resolve the issues soon. The producers' statement was respectful, but fans are really disappointed.

As someone who follows Indian cinema from abroad, it's interesting to see how a film release is tied to a major festival like Pongal. The fan culture and industry solidarity here is on another level compared to Hollywood.

While I'm a huge Vijay fan, I have to say this respectfully: the constant last-minute postponements are hard on the audience. We book trains, plan trips to hometowns around these releases. A bit more predictability from the system would be appreciated.

Simbu, Jai, Ravi Mohan... all showing support. Vijay Anna must be feeling the love. In Tamil we say, "Thunivu thaan selavu" (Courage is the expenditure). He has it in plenty. This delay is just a small hurdle! 💪

The phrase "real Thiruvizha begins on the day #Jananayagan releases" gave me goosebumps! True. For millions of fans, the festival atmosphere is incomplete without his film. Hope the Censor Board works faster. The anticipation is killing us!
