The whole country is gearing up to celebrate Deepavali - the festival of lights, this weekend. However, Tamil cinema fans are all set to begin their festivities a day early, with two highly expected movies - Kaithi & Bigil, slated for release tomorrow (Friday) itself. Bigil, directed by Atlee, stars Thalapathy Vijay in dual roles with Nayanthara playing the female lead and also has an ensemble star cast. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who broke into the big league with his maiden directorial - Maanagaram itself, is taking on Bigil at the Box Office, with his second directorial - Kaithi! Promotions are on in full swing for Kaithi and there was a press meet scheduled for this morning.

At the press meet, Lokesh Kanagaraj spoke about the movie and also mentioned a happy news for all his fans. He stated that he had already gotten a line for Kaithi's sequel. Reports from the press meet state that he has already narrated the one-line for Kaithi's sequel to Karthi and added that Karthi is also interested in making it. However, it is being said that the sequel would be made after three or four years, as the characters need to be aged. With there being high expectations for Kaithi, it sure would be interesting to see how the movie turns out.

Meanwhile, Lokesh Kanagaraj has already begun work on his next project, which features Vijay in the lead and has been titled Thalapathy 64, for the time being. In just a couple of hours, both Kaithi and Bigil would be hitting the screens and we would have the movie's reviews here on Galatta.com at the earliest. Head back here for the first reviews of both these movies...
