Dulquer Salmaan’s I’m Game will now release worldwide on September 3, 2026, instead of August 20. The postponement takes the action entertainer out of the Onam release window. The makers said the change will allow a wider theatrical rollout.

Directed by Nahas Hidhayath, I’m Game will release simultaneously in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada, according to Onmanorama. Dulquer leads and produces the film under Wayfarer Films. The cast includes Kayadu Lohar, Antony Varghese, Mysskin and Vinay Forrt. In the Telugu market, the film will release alongside Romanchakam on September 3, while Allari Naresh’s Rambha Oorvashi Menaka is scheduled for September 4, TeluguCinema.com reports.
The easy story is that I’m Game has lost the valuable Onam advantage, or that a five-language release alone guarantees a bigger opening. Neither follows automatically. A wider rollout can improve access, but it also places the film against established regional competition. The useful test is its opening-day occupancy and the number of screens it actually secures in each language on September 3.
