in
the
country.

to
hit
the
theatres
on
April
23.

"As
a
team,
we
have
sacrificed
a
lot
in
making
this
film
and
thank
every
member
of
the
cast
and
crew
who
supported
us
in
this
challenging
but
remarkable
journey.
Since
the

we
would
like
to

"But
with
an
alarming
rise
in
COVID-19
cases,
subsequent
precautions
and
lockdowns,
even
though
our
film
is
ready
for
release
on

April,
we
want
to
extend
all
the
support
towards
the
government
rules
and
regulations
and
have
decided
to
postpone
release
of
Thalaivi.
Though
we
are
deferring
the
release
date,
we
are
confident
that
we
will
receive
as
much
love
from
you
all
then
as
well.
Stay
safe
and
looking
forward
to
everyone's
support,"
they
added.
