Leading producer Udhayanidhi Stalin and his Red Giant Movies, have confirmed to the trade that the release date of their biggie Manmadhan Ambu worldwide on Thursday, December 23.
The film has Kamal Haasan, Madhavan, Trisha and Sangeetha in the lead and is directed by hit maker KS Ravikumar.
It has music by Devi Sri Prasad and is said to be a "romantic entertainer".
MA was earlier slated for release on December 17, but has been pushed to Dec 23 as the dubbing work on its Telugu version Manmadha Banam is still going on.
The film is likely to be censored sometime next week.
All rights for the film have been sold at very high prices. Last week Gokulam Gopalan producer of the classic Malayalam film Pazhassi Raja has taken over the Kerala theatrical rights.
The Christmas season is actually the best time to release a family entertainer as worldwide it is the major holiday season.
This will help MA to take an extraordinary opening, and with no strong opposition it is going to be a cake walk for Kamal & co.
