AGS Entertainment released the first-look poster for Santhanam’s Love Bite through its official X account on 7 November 2026. The announcement confirmed a December theatrical release for the zombie horror-comedy, written and directed by Selvin Raj Xavier.
The artwork places Santhanam at the centre of a crowded nighttime scene, surrounded by approaching zombies. Fairy lights and coloured bunting contrast with the threatening figures, while characters behind him fight back against the gathering horde. The imagery establishes the film’s blend of horror and comedy without revealing its storyline.
The title appears in dripping green and pink lettering. AGS accompanied the poster with a humorous caption contrasting the seriousness of the outbreak with the people confronting it.
The poster credits Archana Kalpathi as creative producer and Kalpathi S Aghoram, Kalpathi S Ganesh and Kalpathi S Suresh as producers. Think Music and Netflix logos also appear in the artwork, though their presence alone does not establish a streaming date.
AGS specified December without announcing an exact day in the first-look material. Media reports have separately placed the release on 18 December; that date should be distinguished from the banner’s broader official release window.
Background
Love Bite was announced by title on 8 May 2026, with Archana Kalpathi unveiling it on X. Santhanam also welcomed the collaboration with AGS and Selvin Raj Xavier. Earlier reports identified the project as the production house’s 29th film.
A pooja ceremony and cast video followed on 12 May. Coverage of those announcements confirmed Aparna Das as the female lead and described an earlier title design featuring tombstones and figures rising from a graveyard. AGS and Santhanam subsequently announced the completion of filming on 23 October, with December already identified as the intended release month.
The film reunites Selvin Raj Xavier with AGS after his debut, Conjuring Kannappan. Released on 8 December 2023, that horror-comedy featured Sathish and Regina Cassandra, alongside supporting actors including Anandraj, VTV Ganesh and Redin Kingsley. Its reception included appreciation for the performances and imaginative ideas, alongside criticism of a weaker second half.
For Santhanam, Love Bite continues his involvement in horror-comedy after films in the Dhilluku Dhuddu franchise. His preceding release, Devil’s Double Next Level, arrived in May 2025. Earlier coverage described Love Bite as his first new project announcement since that film.
