Chiyaan Vikram's most-expected action flick Cobra to release in theatres on THIS date?

Fans of Vikram who have been pinning hopes on Cobra which was supposed to release on August 11 were disappointed when makers decided to postpone the film owing to delay in post production works. However, the team never came up with any official update regarding the postponement.

The film's delay made a few others utilize the opportunity; Karthi's Viruman which was earlier announced as a release on August 31, is now arriving on August 12. Makers of SJ Suryah's Kadamaiyai Sei had also informed about their release plans on August 11.   

The million dollar question now is: When is Cobra going to hit the screens? A few trusted sources say that the project which has been in the making for more than three years will finally release on August 31. We hear that it's just a matter of time before the team makes it official.

Cobra will mark Vikram's return to the silver screen after a three-year hiatus. Mahaan, his last outing, had a direct release this year on Amazon Prime Video. Kadaram Kondan, directed by Rajesh M Selva, was his last theatrical release.  

Interestingly, Mani Ratnam's much-awaited project Ponniyin Selvan, which stars Vikram in one of the lead roles, will release exactly a month after Cobra's release. The last time Vikram had two releases in a year was in 2018. Sketch and Saamy 2, which opened to mixed response a few years ago, couldn't reap success at the box office.

Cobra, which has been bankrolled by Seven Screen Studio, has music by AR Rahman, and is expected to be one of the highlights of the action flick. KGF fame Srinidhi Shetty is playing the female lead in the movie which has Irfan Pathan and Roshan Mathew essaying pivotal characters.
