Pradeep Ranganathan's third film, LIK (Love Insurance Kompany), which is helmed by Vignesh Shivan, has been awaiting release for a very long time now. The film was initially speculated to hit theatres for Valentine's Day 2025 but was never announced as such by the makers. Later, the makers announced that the film will release on September 18. However, it was later postponed to October 17 to be released for the Deepavali festival.
With Pradeep Ranganathan's fourth film, Dude, helmed by Keertiswaran, slated for the festival of lights, LIK was once again postponed to December 18, 2025. However, speculations are rife that the film's release has been delayed once again, this time scheduled for February 2026, marking the Valentine's Day occasion.
As per reports, the makers of LIK are considering this shift as James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash is opening in theatres on December 19. With the buzz the first two films generated, there is no doubt about the third film attracting audiences to the theatres, thereby reducing the market for LIK. However, the makers are yet to officially announce the postponement of the film.
LIK also stars Krithi Shetty, SJ Suryah, Yogi Babu, Gouri Kishan, Seeman, Shah Ra, Mysskin, Anandraj, and Sunil Reddy, among others. It is backed by Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan's Rowdy Pictures, as well as SS Lalit Kumar's Seven Screen Studio. On the technical front, the film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography handled by Ravi Varman and Sathyan Sooryan, and editing by Pradeep E Ragav.
