Director Lokesh Kanagaraj's current film, Kaithi, with Karthi in the lead role, is right now in the post-production stages. The makers had recently revealed that this intense action drama will hit the screens in October this year. Adding to more excitement, the team has now officially announced the release date. Kaithi will release for the festive occasion of Diwali, along with Thalapathy Vijay's Bigil and Vijay Sethupathi's Sangathamizhan.

The stage is all set for the Diwali race and this time, the competition looks very exciting as all the three films are completely different from each other in terms of the star cast and the genre. Another interesting aspect to see here is that Lokesh Kanagaraj, the director of Kaithi also happens to be the captain of the ship for Vijay's next, Thalapathy 64. This definitely shows Lokesh's strong belief on his content.

However, things might change close to Diwali and either one among Kaithi or Sangathamizhan might back out. Having said that, for now, the Diwali 2019 race is between Bigil, Kaithi and Sangathamizhan. Bigil, as we all know is a football based action entertainer with Vijay and Nayanthara as leads, aiming to attract all types of audiences.

Vijay Sethupathi's Sangathamizhan is a rural masala action entertainer directed by Vijay Chander of Sketch and Vaalu fame. Last but not the least, Kaithi is expected to put Karthi back on the success track with good expectations surrounding the film.
