Directed by Atlee, 'Theri' features Vijay in a double role as DCP Vijaya Kumar and Joseph Kuruvilla. The story follows a former police officer who gives up his job to protect and raise his young daughter in peace. Trouble returns when his past resurfaces and puts his daughter's life in danger. Child actor Nainika played Vijay's daughter, while Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson also had key roles.

The re-release comes at a time when fans are eagerly awaiting Vijay's next film 'Jana Nayagan.' The film, which is said to be Vijay's final movie, has been delayed due to certification issues. It was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on January 9, 2026.

Directed by H. Vinoth and produced by Venkat K. Narayana under KVN Productions, Jana Nayagan is being billed as Thalapathy Vijay's last film. (ANI)
