Karthi's upcoming film Meiyazhagan is one of the most eagerly awaited films, having recently wrapped up filming. The makers have now officially announced its release date and it’s September 27. Interestingly, this sets the stage for a box office clash with Jr NTR's Devara, adding to the anticipation among fans who are awaiting this theatrical showdown between the two esteemed actors.

Meiyazhagan is directed by filmmaker Prem Kumar, known for the critically acclaimed romantic drama 96 starring Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha. Alongside Karthi, the film features Arvind Swamy and Sri Divya in key roles. A newly released poster from the film showcases Karthi alongside a bull, a nod to the traditional sport of Jallikattu.


The makers shared the poster along with the caption, "A breezy journey filled with celebratory moments await. Can’t wait for you all to witness the rooted emotions on Sep 27."

The film boasts a star-studded cast including Karunakaran, Rajkiran, Jayaprakash, and Swati Konde, shot across various locations in Tamil Nadu such as Karaikudi and Kumbakonam. Notably, Meiyazhagan employs sync sound technology, marking Karthi's second film to utilize this technique after Kaatru Veliyidai.
