Power House officially titled; 2027 release eyed for Chiyaan Vikram’s action-packed film

Chiyaan Vikram’s next project has an official title: Power House, with a targeted release in 2027. The development matters because it confirms the branding and the film’s timeline as the team advances the project through a formal promotional cycle.

The title was revealed through a 3-minute-and-36-second promo that introduces Vikram as a wedding caterer who works alongside his family. Riya Shibu, known for Sarvam Maya, appears as his quirky niece, establishing the family dynamics in the opening moments. As the promo progresses, the story shifts from the family setting to a storage unit, hinting at a more intense and intriguing life beyond the initial scene.

The promo also spotlights a peppy soundtrack composed by Santhosh Narayanan and features Urvashi and VTV Ganesh in key roles, underscoring the film’s ensemble framing and tonal range. While an official release date is not finalised, the team has confirmed that Power House will hit the big screens in 2027.

Earlier, Chiyaan Vikram had announced a project with debutant director Bodi Rajkumar. The update was shared by the production house Shanti Talkies, and the project was described as an action thriller. However, there have been no further updates, and it now appears that the project may not move forward. There were also reports of a collaboration with director Madonne Ashwin, but those plans have been shelved.

Chiyaan Vikram’s work front remains active. He was last seen in Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2, directed by SU Arun Kumar, with Dushara Vijayan, SJ Suryah, and Suraj Venjaramoodu in pivotal roles. The film follows a former criminal who now runs a provision store but is drawn back into danger to protect his family. It is currently available for streaming on Prime Video. Looking ahead, the actor is expected to work with director Vishnu Edavan on a family-entertainer project, and he had previously announced a collaboration with 96 director Prem Kumar. DPIFF has continuing coverage on Vikram’s upcoming projects and their developments.

The latest confirmed takeaway is that Power House has an official title and a 2027 release window, with a 3:36 promo presenting the film’s premise and cast. No official release date beyond the year has been announced at this time. DPIFF will continue to monitor updates from the production team as they move toward a formal release timeline.
