ThalapathyVijay’s Bigil has been billed to be one of the biggest films in the making ever since the project was announced earlier this year. Being produced by AGS Entertainment with music by A. R. Rahman, director Atlee has been directing the upcoming sports action drama, which has Nayanthara playing the female lead role and is coming out in theatres this Diwali in October. Up until a few days back, it was believed Bigil would be the only solo release for the festive season after which there was a strong talk that director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s action drama, Kaithi, starring Karthi would be joining the race. However, Kaithi has been announced only to be an October release and will not be going up against Bigil for a box office clash as of now as per latest reports. That said, there is now a new competitor for ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay’s film as ‘Makkal Selvan’ Vijay Sethupathi’s much-awaited Sanga Thamizhan has been officially announced to be hitting screens as a Diwali release.
