Sivakarthikeyan's upcoming film Doctor, which was supposed to be out on March 26, was postponed due to the upcoming state elections. However, as promised, the production house KJR Studios has come up with a new release date for the film.

In an official statement from the makers, it has been confirmed that the film will be released this Ramzan. However, the statement does not mention an exact release date. 

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Doctor stars Priyanka Arul Mohan, Vinay Rai, and Yogi Babu in prominent roles. The film has music by Anirudh Ravichander and cinematography by Vijay Karthik Kannan (Aadai).

This is Nelson’s second film after the Nayanthara-starrer Kolamaavu Kokila. Nelson will next helm Vijay's Thalapathy 65, which is produced by Sun Pictures.

Sivakarthikeyan, on the other hand, has the sci-fi film Ayalaan, directed by R Ravikumar (of Indru Netru Naalai fame), in the pipeline. He has also signed Don, which will be directed by debutant Cibi Chakaravarthi.
