The makers of actor Prabhudeva's Jolly O Gymkhana said the film has cleared censorship formalities and got a release date on Friday.
It was announced that the film has received a U certificate and will release on November 22 in theatres.
Jolly O Gymkhana will be directed by Sakthi Chidambaram, who will be joining with the actor for the third time after Charlie Chaplin (2002) and Charlie Chaplin 2 (2019).
In an earlier conversation with CE, Sakthi shared that the unique highlight of his film will be that for the first time in Indian cinema, the star of his film, Prabhu Deva, will play a dead body for the entirety of the film. "A Tenkasi-based family finds a dead person and is forced to go on a journey that makes them reach Kodaikanal. How the family struggles with this unprecedented situation and goes to all lengths to give him a proper farewell will form the rest of the story," he said, adding that this film will delve into the genre of dark comedy while being a fun-filled ride for everyone.
Jolly O Gymkhana will also feature Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Robo Shankar, John Vijay, Sai Dheena, Madhusudhan Rao, and Yashika Aannand in pivotal roles.
Backed by Rajendra M Rajan and Punitha Rajan for Transindia Media & Entertainment Private Limited, the technical crew comprises composer Ashwin Vinayagamoorthy, cinematographer MC Ganesh Chandra, and editor Ramar.
