Director Gautham Vasudev Menon had last directed the Simbu, Manjima Mohan starrer bilingual Achcham Yenbathu Madamaiyadaa and since then did not have any release as his movie Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta had got into financial troubles and its release was getting delayed.

Though it was said recently that the issues were resolved and was announced that Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta will release on September 6, the release did not happen, and later it was said that Gautham is set to team with Suriya for a movie produced by Lyca Productions and that he had received funds to clear Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta issues.

While fans were expecting ENPT to release this week, it has been said that since Lyca's Kaappan is releasing in a week, and Dhanush's Asuran is releasing on October 4 and with Diwali releases Bigil and Kaithi planning two more weeks later, Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta is said to be releasing only after Diwali.
