Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's 2017 film, Bairavaa, has been announced to rerelease in theatres on January 1, 2027. The film, which also starred Keerthy Suresh in the lead, first released in January 2017, for Pongal.

The film follows the story of a man whose chance encounter with a medical student leads to his entanglement with a larger gang, from whom the man has to save the student from. B Venkatarama Reddy had produced the film under his Vijaya Productions banner.

The cast of the film also includes Jagapathi Babu, Daniel Balaji, Sathish, Thambi Ramaiah, Mime Gopi, Harish Uthaman, Sriman, Aadukalam Naren, and Naan Kadavul Rajendran, among others.

Santhosh Narayanan had composed music for Bairavaa, which features lyrics by Vairamuthu, Arunraja Kamaraj, and Roshan Jamrock. The crew of the film includes cinematographer M Sukumar, editor Praveen KL, art director M Prabhaharan, and stunt choregrapher Anl Arasu.

Bairavaa crossed Rs 100 crores in its theatrical run. It joined Vijay's films like Thuppakki (2012), Kaththi (2014), and Theri (2017), which achieved that feat. Vijay retired from films to pursue a career in politics. In the elections held earlier this year, for the Tamil Nadu Assembly, his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, ascended to governance, with Vijay becoming TN's CM.
