Get ready for your laughter shot! #Doctor is coming to the big screen in October 2021!". The makers also noted that the decision is "only for the fans and our dearest theatre owners."
Sivakarthikeyan took to Twitter today, September 18 to finally unveil the release date of this much-anticipated film and said, "See you in theatres" while unveiling a new poster where the celebrated star was walking amidst surgical instruments wearing a neatly tucked-in shirt and formal pants. The release date, October 9, was molded in a shape of a surgical knife as well.
