The makers of Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming Kollywood movie Doctor announced on Thursday that the film will release in theatres on the occasion of Ramzan. Doctor was initially slated for release on March 26, but the makers announced on Tuesday that they are postponing the release in view of the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. They also added that more information about the release will be available shortly.   

KJR Studios, the production house behind Doctor, took to Twitter to announce the film’s new release date. “Get ready to witness Dr. Varun & Co in Doctor on the special occasion of Ramzan- a grand festival release. We’re going to take this time to sharpen our knives and refill our syringes,” the note read. They also urged the public to exercise their right to vote during the Assembly elections in the state, scheduled to be held on April 6. “In the meantime, we urge you to take the effort to go and vote. Vote responsibly. Let every vote count,” the statement read. 
 

Doctor, touted to be a dark comedy, is directed by filmmaker Nelson Dilip and bankrolled by Sivakarthikeyan under his home banner. Nelson and Sivakarthikeyan have teamed up for the first time for this venture. Nelson is well-known for his 2018 movie Kolamaavu Kokila. Actor Priyanka Mohan will be starring opposite Sivakarthikeyan in Doctor, which will also feature Vinay, Yogi Babu, Ilavarasu and Archana in important roles.
