I am happy that we have been able to lock Diwali 2023 as the release date for Jigarthanda DoubleX, Indian Express quoted Subbaraj as saying during a media interaction.
Calling the movie "an ambitious project" he said, "given the love that the predecessor, Jigarthada, received. I am confident that this film will be a worthy successor to its prequel.”
The producer of the movie Kaarthekeyen Santhanam, of Stone Bench Films, said the announcement of the sequel to Jigarthanda had garnered much curiosity and excitement. "I am extremely happy that we can proudly say that Jiagthanda DoubleX, a mass entertainer that people are looking forward to, will be releasing this Diwali in three languages," he was quoted as saying.
