Director Chidambaram's upcoming film Balan The Boy is set to release in theatres worldwide on June 19, 2026, in five languages. The film, backed by KVN Productions and Thespian Films, explores themes of identity, belonging, and emotional baggage. Chidambaram reunites with writer Jithu Madhavan, who has built a reputation for crafting engaging narratives.
Balan The Boy is also set to be screened at the Marche du Film during the 79th Cannes Film Festival, taking place from May 12 to May 23, 2026. The Cannes screening could help place the film on a wider global map even before its theatrical release.
