Dhanush movie Idli Kadai release date: Social media post goes viral; fans hail the ‘perfect’ timing

Tamil actor Dhanush has announced the release date for his next movie, Idli Kadai, which marks his third venture as a director. He shared a new poster on his social media, revealing that the film will hit theatres on April 10, 2025, just in time for Tamil New Year.

The poster, which he posted on X (formerly Twitter), shows Dhanush entering a small idli shop called “Sivanesan”. With blue skies and birds in the background, the setting hints that the story may unfold in a rural setting.

Dhanush has entertained Bollywood fans in Hindi films like Raanjhanaa, Shamitabh and Atrangi Re.

In Idli Kadai, Dhanush is directing and playing the lead role, adding to the excitement for his fans. Known for his versatility and emotional depth, Dhanush has taken a unique approach to storytelling, and this film is expected to carry his signature style.

The release of Idli Kadai is generating considerable interest, as Dhanush’s combination of directing and acting has previously resulted in successful films. With an engaging cast and a village setting, fans look forward to seeing what this new film brings.

The film reunites Dhanush with Nithya Menen, his co-star from the 2022 hit Thiruchitrambalam, where they played best friends who eventually fell in love.

Their performances were widely appreciated, with Nithya Menen receiving a National Film Award for Best Actress. This collaboration has raised fans’ expectations as they eagerly anticipate seeing the duo together again on screen.
