Jason Sanjay shared the release date of the movie in a collaboration post with Lyca Productions on his Instagram handle on Saturday. In the poster, the actor was seen holding a shovel while staring at the camera.

Thaman S for music? That's a guarantee for some banger tracks! 🎵 The heist genre is always exciting if done right. I'm cautiously optimistic about this debut directorial. Hope Jason brings his own style instead of just copying his father's formula.

It's nice to see the next generation of the Vijay family entering the film industry. But I hope he focuses on making good cinema rather than just cashing in on his father's fame. The trailer will tell us if this is worth watching or just another nepotism project.

July 31 release date is interesting. Usually big films avoid releasing during monsoon season because of weather issues. But Lyca Productions knows what they're doing. Let's see if Sigma can recreate the magic of Vijay's earlier films. Missing the old Vijay screen presence though! 😢

Honestly, I'm more interested in whether Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' will ever release. That film's delays are really frustrating for fans. As for Jason's debut, it's too early to judge. The poster with the shovel looks intriguing though - hope it's not just a gimmick.

I appreciate that Jason is starting as a director rather than directly acting. That shows some humility and willingness to learn the craft from behind the camera. Sundeep Kishan is an underrated actor, so good casting! Hope this becomes a trend where star kids earn their place rather than getting it handed. 👏
