Actor Vijay will soon be celebrating his 50th birthday. With the actor turning his golden age on June 21, the makers of 'Pokkiri' have decided to re-release the film in theaters. Following the success of the actor's film 'Ghilli', fans are now excited to watch 'Pokkiri' on the big screens again.


The re-releases over the past few weeks, including Vijay's 'Ghilli', Suriya's 'Ghajini', and Kamal Haasan's 'Indian', have been taking over the sales in theaters when compared to new releases. Adding to that list, the big question is if Vijay's 'Pokkiri' will garner the same attention.

Directed by Prabhu Deva, 'Pokkiri' stars Vijay, Asin, Nasser, Prakash Raj, and Vadivelu in lead roles. The story of the film revolves around Vijay, who is an undercover cop trying to fight out a major criminal under the pretext of a local fearless rowdy. The film was earlier set for its re-release in Kerala alone, but now it will be released in Tamil Nadu as well. On June 21, apart from 'Pokkiri', Vijay's 'Villu' will also be re-released in theaters.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Vijay is currently shooting for his film 'GOAT', aka 'Greatest of All Time' with director Venkat Prabhu. The science fiction action drama features Vijay, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Sneha, Prashanth, Laila, Prabhu Deva, Ajmal, VTV Ganesh, Premji, Vaibhav, Jayaram, and Parvathi Nair. The music for it is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, and the film is set to release in theaters on September 5.
