Thalavara, the upcoming Malayalam drama fronted by Arjun Ashokan, will now open in cinemas on 22 August 2025, a week later than originally planned. The change was confirmed by the makers on Wednesday through social media, paired with a fresh poster showcasing Arjun alongside co-star Revathy Sharma. Initially announced for an Independence Day release, the film steps away from the holiday weekend, sidestepping a fiercely competitive line-up that includes big-ticket releases.
