Vijay's 'Theri' returns to theaters for Pongal 2026

Entertainment Jan 10, 2026

Vijay's action-packed hit Theri is coming back to the big screen on January 15, 2026, just in time for its 10th-anniversary celebration and Pongal festivities.
Directed by Atlee, the film stars Vijay in dual roles alongside Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson.

Only in theaters this time

The re-release has been announced for theaters, with no mention yet of streaming or digital options.
Theri was such a fan favorite that it inspired remakes in Sinhala and Assamese.

Why now?

The timing lines up with delays for Vijay's new film Jana Nayagan, which is still waiting on a censor board decision expected later this month.
So if you're missing Vijay on screen, Theri's return might be just what you need.
