Vijay Sethupathi and Tabu headline Puri Jagannadh’s much-anticipated film, Slumdog – 33 Temple Road, which is currently drawing attention as the director works to secure a smooth release. After the lukewarm reception to his previous ventures, Liger and Double iSmart, Puri’s next project faces heightened scrutiny from the industry and audiences alike.

The film, produced by Puri Jagannadh and Charmme, has completed its shooting schedule and is nearing the end of post-production. However, the release date remains uncertain as the team is yet to finalize key non-theatrical distribution deals. According to reports, unresolved financial obligations from earlier projects have led to delays, with exhibitors and distributors closely monitoring the situation. The digital rights deal is still pending, adding to the anticipation around when the film will finally hit theatres.

Despite these hurdles, Puri Jagannadh is reportedly taking steps to resolve all outstanding dues and ensure that Slumdog – 33 Temple Road enjoys a grand, pan-Indian launch. The film’s star power and action-packed premise have already sparked curiosity, and fans hope this marks a strong comeback for the director.

As the makers work to clear last-minute obstacles, audiences can expect an official release announcement soon, promising a fresh chapter for both Puri Jagannadh and his cast.
