The much-anticipated title and teaser launch of director Puri Jagannadh’s upcoming pan-Indian film featuring Vijay Sethupathi has been postponed. The event was originally scheduled to take place in Chennai on Saturday but has been deferred in light of a tragic stampede that occurred during Vijay’s political rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu, resulting in the loss of approximately 39 lives.

The film’s production team shared a heartfelt statement on social media, expressing their condolences to the families affected by the tragedy. The statement read,
“Owing to the unfortunate incident in Tamil Nadu, Team #PuriSethupathi has postponed the Title & Teaser Launch Event planned for today.”
**About the Film**
While the film remains untitled, it stars Vijay Sethupathi alongside notable actors Tabu, Samyuktha, and Duniya Vijay in pivotal roles. The project has created a buzz among audiences due to its multi-language release strategy. Reports suggest the film may be titled *Slum Dog* and is being produced on a grand scale, featuring a soundtrack composed by Mahati Swara Sagar.
The team has reassured fans that the title and teaser launch will be rescheduled soon.
**Government Response**
In the wake of the tragedy, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced compensation of ₹10 lakh each to the families of the deceased and ₹1 lakh each to the injured.
