Producer Boney Kapoor unveiled the poster for the Tamil heist thriller Thunivu and announced its grand re-release on February 20, 2026. The film, starring Ajith Kumar and directed by H. Vinoth, originally debuted during the 2023 Pongal festival and went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of Ajith’s career at the time, earning over ₹250 crore worldwide.
The newly released poster features Ajith in a brooding, intense pose wielding a gun, capturing the film’s signature “No Guts No Glory” energy. Produced under Bayview Projects LLP and Zee Studios, the re-release aims to rekindle the cinematic excitement of the original, celebrating Ajith’s enduring stardom even as fans eagerly await updates on his upcoming projects like Good Bad Ugly.
Thunivu follows Dark Devil (Ajith) and his team as they plan a daring bank heist to recover money looted from innocent citizens by corporate wrongdoers. The ensemble cast also features Manju Warrier, Samuthirakani, John Kokken, Ajay, and Veera. The film blends high-octane action with social commentary, creating a mass-entertainment spectacle for fans of the heist thriller genre.
Despite receiving mixed critical reviews upon its original release, Thunivu resonated strongly with audiences, especially for its stylish action sequences, Ajith’s commanding performance, and the clever depiction of anti-corruption vigilante themes. The re-release is expected to draw fans back to theaters to relive the thrill of the blockbuster experience on the big screen.
Social media responses to Boney Kapoor’s announcement reflect fervent anticipation, with fans expressing excitement over revisiting Ajith’s Dark Devil persona while also voicing impatience for delays in his other projects. The hashtag #Thunivu has trended on X following the poster drop, signaling robust pre-release engagement among the Tamil cinema fanbase.
Scheduled for February 20, 2026, the re-release by Romeo Pictures and Zee Studios promises to celebrate Ajith Kumar’s legacy in Tamil cinema while offering fans another chance to experience the adrenaline-fueled heist action of Thunivu.
