After months of speculation and growing anticipation, the much-awaited action saga Max, starring Kichcha Sudeep, has finally locked its release date. The makers ended the swirling rumours by unveiling the date through a teaser, announcing that the film will hit theaters this Christmas, December 25. Promising a commercial entertainer this holiday season, Max is set to bring festive cheer across multiple languages and kick off the New Year 2025 celebrations.

This announcement positions Max as the second major release of the holiday week, following Upendra's UI, which is set to open in theatres on December 20. With two cinematic heavyweights lighting up the box office, audiences have plenty to celebrate as the year draws to a close.

December blockbusters are a tradition in Kannada cinema. Following the success of Mungaru Male, Kirik Party, and Kaatera, the industry is hoping UI and Max will strike gold at the box office.
