Disappointed but understandable! The teaser looked 🔥 and I was counting days for May 30th. But if the team needs more time to perfect it, I'm happy to wait. Hope the extra time makes it even more mass! #VD12

July 4th is better actually - avoids clash with other big releases. Smart move by producers. But please don't delay again! The teaser promised a proper action entertainer after Vijay's last few experimental films.

"Unforeseen events in the country" - hope this isn't about elections affecting promotions? Movies should stay away from politics. Anyway, Anirudh's music + Vijay's intensity = blockbuster material. Counting days till July! 🤩

Respectfully, this delay culture in Tollywood needs to stop. First Kushi, now Kingdom. Producers announce dates without proper planning. Bollywood manages to stick to schedules better. Hope the wait is worth it!

The team is being professional by delaying rather than rushing. Remember how Arjun Reddy's perfection made it iconic? Gowtam Tinnanuri knows his craft. And that tagline gives me goosebumps! "From shadows of betrayal..." 😍

Good decision! July release means better summer vacation footfall. My whole family was planning to watch - now kids will be free from exams too. Just hope they don't hike ticket prices like last Vijay movie!
