Sivakarthikeyan’s special cameo in Vijay’s film Code made waves — especially the powerful moment where Vijay hands him a gun, saying, “From now on, it’s you.” Fans and netizens speculated that it symbolized more than just a scene — some even saw it as Vijay symbolically passing the torch to Sivakarthikeyan, especially with his move toward full-time politics.

Now, the buzz is back for a whole new reason.

The release date for Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming film Madraasi has been officially announced — and it’s set to hit theaters on September 5, the exact same date Vijay’s Code released last year. The unexpected coincidence has fans drawing connections all over again.

Social media is buzzing with comments like, “It’s the zodiac of the gun!” — referring to that memorable scene where Vijay hands over the weapon. Many are taking this as a subtle sign that Sivakarthikeyan is being positioned to take Vijay’s place in Tamil cinema as the latter shifts focus to politics.

While only time will tell how this symbolic handover plays out in real life, one thing’s for sure — Madraasi now carries not just cinematic weight, but a sense of legacy as well.
