He feels the actual expertise must be in cinemas solely, however platforms are hesitant to drop enormous cash with out watching the movie. There’s extra to the delay. KVN Productions can also be busy with Vijay’s Jana Nayagan and the monetary stress round it. Sources say they’re ready for readability on Tamil Nadu’s political scenario earlier than locking Jana Nayagan for finish of Could. Solely after that may Poisonous get a brand new date.
This isn’t the primary shift both Poisonous was earlier moved from March 19 to keep away from clashing with Dhurandhar 2. Many are asking if the hype is larger than the content material.

The movie has a powerful solid with Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth. If the OTT deal doesn’t shut quickly, the funds restoration plan takes successful. For now, there’s no new launch date. The makers will announce one solely after the Jana Nayagan scenario and OTT deal are sorted.
