Vijay Antony-Starrer ‘Nooru Saami’ Set for Worldwide Release on June 19

CHENNAI — Director Sasi’s highly anticipated film Nooru Saami, starring Vijay Antony in the lead role, is set for a worldwide theatrical release on June 19.

The announcement was made by Vijay Antony on social media, where he shared the film’s release poster and confirmed that Nooru Saami and Vanda Devullu would both release globally on June 19.

The film marks the reunion of Sasi and Vijay Antony, whose previous collaboration, Pichaikkaran, emerged as both a commercial success and a cult favorite. The 2016 film, based on a real-life incident, told the story of a wealthy businessman who takes a vow to live as a beggar for 48 days in an effort to save his mother’s life.

Production on Nooru Saami was completed earlier this year, with Vijay Antony announcing the final shooting schedule in November 2025 through a social media post from the film’s set.

In an earlier interview, Sasi revealed that Nooru Saami is based on real-life incidents and explores the emotional bond between a mother and her son. While the film’s title is derived from a popular song featured in Pichaikkaran, the director clarified that the new film is not a sequel and has no narrative connection to its predecessor.

Sasi has described Nooru Saami as one of the projects closest to his heart. The filmmaker also disclosed that the film features two protagonists.

Alongside Vijay Antony, actor Ajay Dhishan will play a key role in the film. Ajay Dhishan, who is Vijay Antony’s nephew, will portray the second lead character.

Speaking about the casting, Sasi noted that he had known Ajay since childhood and expressed confidence in the young actor’s potential as a leading man.

The film is expected to attract significant attention from audiences, particularly given the enduring popularity of Pichaikkaran and the successful creative partnership between Sasi and Vijay Antony.

Nooru Saami will release in theaters worldwide on June 19.
