Titanic, starring Kalaiyarasan and Anandhi, is scheduled to reach theatres on 13 November 2026. Producer C. V. Kumar, his banner Thirukumaran Entertainment and director M. Janakiraman announced the date through matching posts on their X accounts on 6 November.
The makers repeated the date in further posts the following day, presenting the film as a romantic comedy combining affection, emotion and humour. The announcement follows two October release plans that did not materialise.
Titanic had initially been promoted for a worldwide opening on 16 October. On 15 October, Janakiraman announced a one-week postponement to 23 October, citing a shortage of screens. Media coverage linked that shortage to the arrival of Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, although the director’s own statement did not name that film.
The revised October date also passed without a release. The latest announcement establishes a new theatrical plan for the long-delayed production.
Published reports list Kaali Venkat, Ashna Zaveri, Ragav Vijay, Madhumitha, Chetan and Devadarshini in the supporting cast, with guest appearances by filmmaker Balaji Mohan and actor Gayathrie. Nivas K. Prasanna composed the music, while Ballu handled cinematography.
The announced date places Titanic alongside Arjun Das’s John Doe on the November release calendar.
Background
Earlier coverage traces Titanic’s announcement and the start of production to 2016. Janakiraman, who had worked as an assistant to filmmakers Bala, Sudha Kongara and Balaji Mohan, was making his feature directorial debut with the project.
A December 2017 report carried the tagline Kadhalum Kavundhu Pogum and described a story moving through Chennai, Kodaikanal, a village near Coimbatore, Bengaluru and a train journey. Kumar said at the time that shooting and dubbing were complete, with a release hoped for the following March.
Subsequent reports documented further plans, including 6 May 2022 and 18 July 2025, before the October 2026 changes. Coverage published in July 2025 also recorded Kalaiyarasan’s public appeal to Kumar on X to release the completed film.
Kumar founded Thirukumaran Entertainment in 2010. Earlier profiles of the banner highlighted Attakathi, Pizza and Soodhu Kavvum as examples of its investment in emerging directors and unconventional stories rather than established star-led productions.
The lengthy wait also places Titanic alongside more recent work by its leads. Kalaiyarasan’s forthcoming projects include Pa. Ranjith’s Vettuvam, in which earlier coverage identified his character as Veeravarman. Anandhi recently led the Telugu biopic Garividi Lakshmi.
