On March 4, director Victor Vu announced the release date of the project "Detective Kien: The Headless Case". Notably, the work will be released on the occasion of the April 30 - May 1 holiday. At the previous showcase event, the film was scheduled to be released on May 16.

The move by the director and producer to postpone the release date by two weeks is noteworthy. Director Victor explained: "Putting the release date earlier is a joint decision of the investors and distributors. I think the April 30 holiday is a potential market for Vietnamese films. I hope to bring the audience a different taste during this year's holiday."

Thus, Victor Vu's "Detective Kien" will directly confront Ly Hai's "Flip Side 8: Vong Tay Nang". This is the first "clash" between two great filmmakers in many years.

"Detective Kien: The Headless Case" is a detective story. The work by Victor Vu features a cast including Quoc Huy, Dinh Ngoc Diep, Quoc Anh, Anh Pham, and Minh Anh.

The film is set in the Nguyen Dynasty about 200 years ago, when detective Kien (Quoc Huy) was invited to a village to investigate a mysterious disappearance. Detective Kien and Mrs. Hai Man (Dinh Ngoc Diep) had a previous connection from the film. "The Last Wife".

The two continue to accompany each other in a new story that takes place 3 years after the events of "The Last Wife", related to the disappearance of Nga (Hai Man's niece) that the villagers rumored was related to a ghost and the creepy story of headless corpses floating on the riverbank.

Meanwhile, "Flip Side 8: Vong Tay Nang" belongs to the psychological, emotional, and comedy genres. The project brings together a large cast of actors such as Meritorious Artist Huu Chau, Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong, Meritorious Artist Chieu Xuan, Meritorious Artist Tuyet Thu, Ngan Quynh, Amy Minh Khue, Quach Ngoc Tuyen, Tin Nguyen... Notably, hot Tikoker Le Tuan Khang also participates in the film.

For now, the milestone the film faces is revenue.482 billion VNDof "Flip Side 7". If successful, Ly Hai will continue his winning streak, as each subsequent film surpasses the previous film in box office performance.
