Billa Re-Release 2025: Ajith’s Iconic Action Thriller
Billa, the stylish Tamil action-crime thriller that reshaped Ajith Kumar’s star image, is returning to theatres this weekend in 2025.
First released on 14 December 2007, this blockbuster continues to remain a fan favourite for its gripping storytelling, sleek visuals, and unforgettable performances. The re-release brings back the excitement of watching Ajith in one of his most powerful double roles on the big screen.
A Stylish Action Ride
The film follows the rise and fall of David Billa, a feared international gangster. When he dies during a police pursuit, only DSP Jayaprakash knows the truth. To bring down the criminal network from inside, he trains Velu, a simple hotel server who looks exactly like Billa. Velu enters the gang and takes Billa’s place, but soon discovers that everyone around him has hidden motives.
Adding to the tension is Sasha, a bold and mysterious woman who infiltrates the gang with her own personal agenda. As Velu gets deeper into the underworld, the threat around him grows, leading to intense action, twists, and shocking reveals.
