Shiva Karthikeyan’s latest Tamil sci-fi thriller, Ayalaan, has emerged victorious at the Box Office following its release during the festive season of Pongal 2024. The film received widespread acclaim for its unique storyline and impressive performances, contributing to its success in the Tamil film industry. Audiences embraced the movie, making it a hit, and Shiva Karthikeyan garnered praise for his portrayal in this ambitious project.
However, the Telugu version of Ayalaan faced a series of unfortunate events upon its release. Initially scheduled for a simultaneous release, the Telugu version encountered challenges due to a scarcity of available theaters. The release was then rescheduled to avoid competition with an overcrowded slate of Telugu releases. Despite the efforts, the film faced yet another postponement and was ultimately slated to hit the screens on January 26th, 2024.
Even with Shiva Karthikeyan actively participating in the pre-release event for the Telugu version, the film encountered a major setback. On its scheduled release day, the movie was abruptly postponed due to legal issues involving the producer. This unexpected turn of events left the Telugu version of Ayalaan in limbo, depriving it of a theatrical release and any opportunity to make an impact at the Box Office.
As the Tamil version continues to bask in its success, Ayalaan has now secured its OTT release date. The film is set to premiere on Sun NXT on February 9th, allowing a broader audience to experience the sci-fi spectacle. However, the fate of the Telugu version remains uncertain, with no official confirmation regarding its release on any platform. Fans await updates on whether the legal issues surrounding the Telugu version can be resolved, providing the film with a chance to reach its audience in the Telugu-speaking regions.
