Sivakarthikeyan's highly-anticipated youth entertainer Don directed by debutant Cibi Chakravarthy has been announced for a worldwide theatrical release on May 13. Jointly produced by Lyca Productions and Sivakarthikeyan Productions banners, the upcoming film featuring music by 'Rockstar' Anirudh Ravichander is set amidst a college backdrop and has now undergone a release change after it was initially announced to be coming out later this month on the 25th. However, with Lyca Productions' pan-Indian magnum opus RRR starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR under Baahubali filmmaker SS Rajamouli's direction also announced to come out on March 25, the blockbuster production banner on Wednesday released a statement extending their heartfelt gratitude to Sivakarthikeyan for facilitating the shuffle of Don's release.

Lyca Productions' statement reads, "We would like to start by thanking Mr. Sivakarthikeyan for his humble gesture in helping us postpone the release date of DON, as the previously planned release date coincided with the release of RRR (25th March 2022), and both films are our esteemed projects." Lyca added, "Dear fans & movie lovers, we are pushing the release date of DON to 13th May 2022. We hope you shower us with same excitement & love as you always show us." Sivakarthikeyan Productions too has released a new release poster for Don featuring SK with his gang in the film among whom include RJ Mirchi Vijay, Sivaangi Krishnakumar, Bala Saravanan, while also giving us a new glimpse at filmmaker turned actor S. J. Suryah.

Dear fans, we hope you shower us with the same excitement & love as you always do. 🙏🏻@Siva_Kartikeyan @anirudhofficial @KalaiArasu_ @SKProdOffl @Dir_Cibi @priyankaamohan @iam_SJSuryah @SonyMusicSouth pic.twitter.com/WllfLguJ94

Don is one of the most awaited films in recent times as it has Sivakarthikeyan in his comfort zone - comedy - and, it will be interesting to witness him in action in a film that will appeal to audiences of all ages. The actor-producer will also be looking to hit it out of the park once again after the stupendous success of his Doctor under Nelson Dilipkumar's direction last year, which went on to collect more than 100 crores at the box office. Sivakarthikeyan has paired up with youth sensation Priyanka Arul Mohan for the second consecutive time in Don after the duo's chemistry received a double thumbs up in Doctor. Likewise, Anirudh's music is another big USP for the new film after the first single track titled 'Jalabula Jangu' has gone on to become a chart-buster.
