VJ Siddhu’s directorial debut ‘Dayangaram’ will hit theatres during the Pongal festival in January 2027. The announcement was made alongside the release of the film’s teaser on Tuesday, 3 November. Siddhu, who rose to fame through YouTube channels Black Sheep and VJ Siddhu Vlogs, both writes and directs the film and stars as a college student.

The cast includes Natty Natraj, Harshath Khan, Kali Venkat and Sushmita Shetty. Production began in October 2025 and wrapped in July 2026. Siddhu Kumar has composed the music. The film is produced by Ishari K Ganesh under the Vels Film International banner.
Both Times of India and Cinema Express report VJ Siddhu’s directorial debut ‘Dayangaram’ releasing in theatres during the Pongal festival. Their coverage is essentially uniform wire-style reporting. Times of India leads with Siddhu’s transition from YouTube to cinema and names a tagline from the teaser. Cinema Express adds the producer banner (Vels Film International), the film’s production timeline (October 2025 to July 2026) and creative director credit (Dude Vicky). Neither outlet frames the story with any political or ideological slant. The teaser release and the Pongal 2027 date itself are the concrete facts both sources end on.
