With the film's release slated for September 19, the makers of Kavin's Kiss announced that it has cleared the censorship formalities with a U/A certificate.

Kiss, starring Preethi Asrani as the female lead, marks the maiden directorial of dance choreographer Satish Krishnan. The film is the first collaboration between the lead actors and the director.

While specific details about the film's plot remain undisclosed, Kiss follows Kavin's character, a man known for morally policing couples and expressing a strong aversion to public displays of affection (PDA). The story could set up a conflict when he unexpectedly finds himself falling in love, leading him to navigate his own beliefs about PDA. The film is expected to explore this contradiction with humour.

The film's technical crew has cinematographer Harish Kannan, editor RC Pranav, art director Mohan Mahendran, and stunt directors Peter Hein, Dinesh Subbarayan, and Rambo Vimal.

Kavin had two releases last year: Star and Bloody Beggar. In addition to Kiss, he has Mask and Hi, by debut directors Vikarnan Ashok and Vishnu Edavan, respectively, in the pipeline. Preethi Asrani, who made her Tamil debut with Ayothi (2023), was last seen in Election (2024). She next has Balti, opposite Shane Nigam, and Killer, opposite SJ Suryah, who is also directing the film, in her lineup.

Kiss is releasing in theatres alongside Shakthi Thirumagan and Thandakaaranyam.
