Vijay’s ‘Theri’ Set for Theatrical Re-Release This Pongal

Fans of Tamil cinema can look forward to a special treat as actor Thalapathy Vijay‘s acclaimed film Theri is scheduled for a theatrical re-release on January 15, 2026. This comes at a time when anticipation builds for Vijay’s upcoming film Jana Nayagan, which has encountered delays related to censorship certification.

The announcement was made by producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu through his X account, where he shared a special poster marking the occasion. The re-release of Theri will coincide with the film’s tenth anniversary, providing fans a chance to relive the excitement of its original debut in 2016.

Directed by Atlee, Theri features Vijay in a dual role as DCP Vijaya Kumar and Joseph Kuruvilla. The plot centers on a former police officer who leaves his career to raise his daughter in peace, only for his past to threaten their safety. The film also stars child actor Nainika as Vijay’s daughter, alongside notable performances by Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson.

The action-packed narrative of Theri resonated well with audiences, leading to a Hindi remake titled Baby John, featuring Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh. This re-release arrives as fans eagerly await news on Jana Nayagan, which was initially slated for release on January 9, 2026. Delays have arisen due to certification complications, leaving fans on the edge of their seats regarding the film’s future.

As excitement builds around both Theri and Jana Nayagan, the return of Vijay’s iconic character promises to reignite fond memories for viewers, solidifying his stature as a beloved figure in Tamil cinema. The re-release is not only a celebration of the film’s legacy but also a reminder of Vijay’s enduring popularity and the impact of his work on fans worldwide.
