What's the story
Well, it looks like Sivakarthikeyan's fans will have to wait longer to watch his upcoming film, Prince. The upcoming project's release has been postponed to Diwali 2022 (October 24) as opposed to its initial premiere on August 31.

Context
Why does this story matter?
Sivakarthikeyan's last two films namely Doctor (2021) and Don (2022) turned out to be successful ventures. They broke the actor's failure streak with films like Hero, Namma Veettu Pillai, and Mr. Local, all of which got released in 2019. It is expected that Prince will add to the actor's success story. Also, this project marks Sivakarthikeyan's second venture of the year.
