With the festival falling on October 27 (Sunday), looks like the film will release on October 25 (Friday).
‘Kaithi’ in Tamil means prisoner and Karthi seem to be playing a prisoner in the film. The movie is said to take place in jail with Karthi and fellow inmates planning a prison break. Filming was completed in 62 nights as the film was predominantly shot in the night. The film will not feel the absence of a heroine since Karthi does not have a romantic interest in the film.
