“BAIRAVAA AND 2 NEW FILMS ARE ONLY POSSIBLE”

Vijay’s Bairavaa is all set to hit screens for Pongal 2017. But apart from Bairavaa, about 7 other tamil films have announced release for Pongal, which includes Puriyatha Puthir, Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga, Kuttram 23, Enakku Vaaitha Adimaigal, Yakkai, Bruce lee and Adhe Kangal.  There is also Vin Diesel’s XXX: Return of Xander Cage that is slated for this time.

Talking to Vettri theatre proprietor Rakesh about this, he said, “The main screen Vettri’s 4 shows will surely be fixed for Bairavaa. Apart from that we can accommodate only 2 films in the other screen Rakesh giving 2 shows each. With XXX coming out, we have to have atleast 2 shows for it, which takes up the majority of our Pongal plans. We might take just 1 or 2 other movies apart from Bairavaa” he signed off.

Multiplexes with over 4 or 5 screens might be able to accommodate more than 3 films for this festival and even they would prefer minimal number of shows for the smaller films. But when it comes to the single screens or theatres with just 2 or 3 screens, it will mostly just be Bairavaa for Pongal 17’.
