Raju Jeyamohan's 'Bun Butter Jam' to release on July 18

Raghav Mirdath's romantic drama 'Bun Butter Jam' featuring Bigg Boss star Raju Jeyamohan set to release on July 18

"Marriages may be made in Heaven, but some love stories are entirely made by mothers. - Raju Jeyamohan"

Chennai, June 10

The makers of director Raghav Mirdath's romantic drama 'Bun Butter Jam', featuring Bigg Boss fame Raju Jeyamohan in the lead, have now announced that the long awaited film will finally hit screens on July 18 this year.

Actor Raju, who took to his timeline on X, to share the announcement on the film's release date put out by the producers, said, "Marriages may be made in Heaven, but some love stories are entirely made by mothers. A game between Gen Zs and boomers! Begins on July 18. #BunButterJam in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada. #BunButterJamFromJuly18. A film by @RMirdath A @nivaskprasanna musical. Produced by @RainofarrowsENT @sureshs1202."

It may be recalled that the film's first look poster, which was released almost a year ago, had caught the attention of film buffs for the manner in which it was designed.

Instead of the usual posters, the team had chosen to release a hand-made painting as their film's first look poster.

The painting, which was of the Renaissance kind, showed a battle scene in which the hero was seen enjoying a sandwich made using jam and butter despite suffering wounds on the battlefield.

The painting had a significant point to make as the film's director Raghav Mirdath later went on to explain. The director pointed out that people fought battles on a daily basis in their minds.

"The battles could be due to recalling a past memory that was painful or worrying about an uncertain future. As a result, they fail to enjoy the present," the director pointed out.

Stating that many people looked to first solve problems and then enjoy later without realising that this time free of problems may never come, the director said that this was the point the painting was looking to make. He said the painting, which showed Raju, despite suffering injuries in battle, enjoying a sandwich, was looking to drive home the point that people must look to enjoy the good things the present has to offer, unmindful of the problems that loom large.

Admitting that the film's plot was based on a suggestion given by the producer, the director had gone on to disclose that he had expanaded and made the line the producer had given him into a full-fledged script.

Along with Raju, Adhya Prasad and Bhavya Trikha play the lead. The film will also feature Saranya Ponvannan, Devadarshini, Charlie, Michael Thangadurai and VJ Pappu in pivotal roles.

Finally some good news! Been waiting for this film since the first look poster released. That Renaissance-style painting was so unique - refreshing change from typical movie posters. Raju Jeyamohan has great comic timing, excited to see him in a romantic drama now. July 18 can't come soon enough! 🤩

The concept sounds interesting but I hope it's not another preachy message movie. Sometimes Tamil cinema overdoes the philosophy angle. That said, Raju is a talented actor and Saranya Ponvannan's presence is always a plus. Will give it a watch if reviews are good.

"Marriages may be made in Heaven, but some love stories are entirely made by mothers" - what a beautiful line! As someone who had an arranged marriage, this really resonates with me. The Gen Z vs boomers angle sounds fun too. Hoping for a fresh take on relationships in our culture.

The sandwich metaphor in the painting is brilliant - enjoying small joys despite life's battles. Reminds me of my grandfather's saying "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain." Hope the film does justice to this profound thought.

Releasing in four South Indian languages - smart move! Raju has good recognition across states after Bigg Boss. The multilingual approach might help recover costs given the current theater situation. Fingers crossed it delivers both artistically and commercially. Our industry needs more such experimental attempts.
