I is a high budgeted film which has Vikram and Amy Jackson in the lead roles. This film which is being produced by Aascar Ravichandran has been directed by Shankar. A R Rahman has composed the music. P C Sriram has handled the camera.

After the audio release of the film, everyone was expecting the release date. It was expected that the film will be released for Deepavali. Since the post-production works were pending, the film could not be released.

Then it was expected that the film will be released for Pongal. Ajith starrer Yennai Arindhaal is being released on Pongal day. Because of this, I is being released on 9th January. Cinematographer P C Sriram has tweeted, "9th January 2015 we will all be blessed with "I". A red letter day for Indian cinema."

It is not sure whether the makers of "Yennai Arindhaal" will release the film as planned before.

Both "I" and "Yennai Arindhaal" are big in its own terms. While Vikram's film is made with a huge-budget and has generated a huge curiosity with its trailer and movie stills, Ajith's flick has generated positive vibes with its first look and teaser.

Apart from "Yennai Arindhaal" and "I", there are a few more films, which will be releasing during the festival time. Karthi's "Kombam", Vishal's "Aambala" and Sivakarthikeyan's "Kakki Sattai" will also release for Pongal 2015.
