Suriya's Critically Acclaimed 'Jai Bhim' To Release In Theaters On His Birthday

Based on a true incident in 1993, which involves a case fought by Justice K. Chandru, it revolves around the lives of Sengeni and Rajakannu, a couple from the Irular tribe. Rajakannu was arrested by the police and was later missing from the police station. Sengeni seeks the help of an advocate Chandru to seek justice for her husband.

Upon its release on Amazon Prime Video in November last year, "Jai Bhim" got high critical appreciation. However, the movie's digital release left the audiences and Suriya's fans disappointed as many felt it deserved theatrical release for its bold and sensitive subject.

Well, there is good news for the fans as "Jai Bhim" is making its way to theaters for the first time in India. Rajsekar Pandian, director and co-producer 2D Entertainment, announced on social media that "Jai Bhim" will be released on the big screen on Suriya's birthday (July 23) in Trivandrum, Kerala.

"Jai Bhim" is produced by 2D Entertainment. It is the first and only Indian movie to be featured in the Oscars' YouTube library. It was also shortlisted for the 94th Academy Awards, but couldn't make it to the final cut. It stars Suriya with Lijomol Jose and Manikandan in the lead. Whilst Rajisha Vijayan, Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh, and others in supporting roles.
