Chennai, June 27
The makers of director Eugien Jos Chirammel's upcoming film 'Soothravakyam', featuring actors Shine Tom Chacko and Vincy Aloshious in the lead, on Friday announced that their film's release was being postponed to July 11 this year.
Taking to his Instagram page, the film's producer, Srikanth Kandragula, posted a statement that read, "Dear Film Lovers, Due to certain technical reasons, the release date of our upcoming film 'Soothravakyam' has been rescheduled. The movie will now hit theatres worldwide on July 11."
It further said, "From the very beginning of the shoot to the final stages of release, Soothravakyam has overcome several challenges. Throughout this journey, your constant support and encouragement have been our biggest strength. At this moment, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who stood by us."
It went on to add, "We are extremely confident about the film, and we believe it has shaped up beautifully. That confidence is what led us to go for a worldwide release in both Malayalam and Telugu. We sincerely request your continued support as we take this film to audiences around the globe. With gratitude, Team SoothraVakyam."
It may be recalled that the release of the film was postponed after Malayalam actress Vincy Aloshious, who was part of the unit, levelled allegations of drug use and misconduct against her co-actor Shine Tom Chacko on the sets of the film. Shine Tom Chacko, who was arrested for using drugs and who later came out on bail, was issued a stern final warning by FEFKA office-bearers.
The film, which has been directed by Eugien Jos Chirammel, is based on a story by Rejin S Babu. Cinematography for the film is by Sreeram Chandrasekharan while editing is by Nithish K T R. Music for the film has been scored by Jean P Johnson.

Another day, another Malayalam film controversy! When will our industry learn? The drug allegations are seriously damaging Kerala cinema's reputation. Strict action needed!
Technical reasons my foot! We all know why it's postponed. The producers should be transparent. Anyway, looking forward to the film - the trailer looked promising! 🤞
As someone new to Malayalam cinema, these constant delays and controversies make me hesitant to watch. Maybe they should focus more on professionalism than drama?
Hope Vincy Aloshious gets justice if her allegations are true. Our film industry needs safer spaces for women artists. The movie can wait, humanity comes first!
Jean P Johnson's music is always fire 🔥 Worth waiting till July 11 just for the BGM! Hope the controversies don't overshadow the team's hard work.
Why are we quick to judge? Let the courts decide about Shine's case. As audience, we should focus on the art. The plot sounds interesting - courtroom drama with thriller elements!
