After a slight delay, the makers of Singapore Saloon announced the release date of the film. The movie starring actor RJ Balaji will release on January 25. Helmed by Gokul, the movie also features Lal, Sathyaraj, Kishen Das, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and Robo Shankar, among others. Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj will be playing a cameo role in the movie.

When did makers announce the new release date?

Sharing the new poster of Sathyaraj, Lal, and RJ Balaji together on social media, the makers wrote, "Bringing unlimited chaos, laughter and whole lot of entertainment. #SingaporeSaloon releasing in cinemas near you on January 25th."

However, Gokul did not reveal the actor's name because he wanted fans to see it on big screens.
