Will Vikram meet his date with Vijay?

With Diwali just over 20 days away, the confirmed festival releases in Tamil look to be Vijay's Kaththi and Vishal's Poojai. There is still no official word on whether Shankar - Vikram's 'I' would make it to theaters for this auspicious day. 

 

Given the shortage of good theaters in TN, there is an uncertainty over whether two true biggies like 'I' and Kaththi can be accommodated at the same time, along with another salable movie like Poojai. And with Shahrukh Khan's Happy New Year also releasing for Diwali, the theater crunch is expected to be present around the country and in overseas markets too.

 

Recently the shoots of 'I' were wrapped up and the film's extensive post-production work is also going on at a furious pace. The producer is meanwhile heard to be making all plans to launch the film in Bollywood in the grandest manner possible. It is heard that an official word on the release plans can be expected only after the Hindi launch function is all set.

 

The last time Vijay and Vikram had a contest at the box-office on the same day, was way back in 2005 for Diwali when Sivakasi and Majaa released. Will Diwali 2014 repeat the story? Stay tuned for an update in this regard.
