On Tuesday, the makers of Jason Sanjay's directorial debut, Sigma, announced the new release date for the film. The film was previously scheduled for a release on July 31 but was postponed after Jana Nayagan was rescheduled for July 23. For the unversed, Jason Sanjay is the son of actor-turned-chief minister Vijay.
The film, headlined by Sundeep Kishan, is produced by Subaskaran under the Lyca Productions banner. The makers describe it as "a high-stakes heist" film. Recently, writer-director Jason revealed that his directorial venture offers a blend of action, comedy, treasure-hunt, and heist, which contribute to a highly energetic cinematic experience.
Sigma also stars Faria Abdullah, Raju Sundaram, Sampath Raj, Shiv Panditt, Anbu Thasan, Yog Japee, Magalakshmi, Sheela Rajkumar, Kamalesh, and Kiran Konda. Kaleel Raja, Sanjeev S, and Ajaiy Ashok are credited as its additional screenplay writers. On the technical front, the film has music by Thaman S, cinematography by Krishnan Vasant, editing by Praveen KL, and stunts by Venkat and Selva.
Speaking about the film, while promoting his Super Subbu, Sundeep Kishan previously said, "We are very excited about it. We also realised that Sigma is not just a film but a cultural experience. It is Sanjay's debut and he has taken a completely alternative route wanting to be director. So we come with that responsibility."
Sigma has been shot in locations such as Chennai, Thailand, Thalakona, and Salem, among others. The film is gearing up to open in theatres on October 2. Interestingly, Sigma joins a long list of films scheduled for release around Gandhi Jayanti. Vijay Sethupathi's film with Balaji Tharaneetharan, Baththa, Mr Bhaarath, also postponed because of Jana Nayagan, and Ram-Nivin Pauly-Soori's long-awaited Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai, are also slated for release on October 1, a day before Sigma.
