Suriya’s Soorarai Pottru to clash with Vijay’s Master?
Of late, Kollywood has been witnessing lot of big clashes at the box office. Though trade circles are not very pleased with it since they fear that revenue gets divided unfairly, stars seem to be not very concerned about it. Last year, we got to witness what is probably the biggest clash in Tamil cinema history as Ajith’s ‘Viswasam’ and Rajinikanth’s ‘Petta’ locked horns during the Pongal season. It was followed by a Vijay-Karthi clash during Diwali with ‘Bigil’ and ‘Kaithi’ releasing on the same day.
Latest buzz is that Suriya’s ‘Soorarai Pottru’ and Vijay’s ‘Master’ are eyeing the same release date April 9. The makers are yet to confirm this but trade experts would definitely not want to see another such big clash.
‘Master’ is easily the biggest among the two films as it boasts of a cast that includes Vijay and a bunch of other big stars like Vijay Sethupathi and Malavika Mohanan. Also the fact that, it is director Lokesh’s immediate next after the blockbuster success of ‘Kaithi’ has skyrocketed the expectations.
‘Soorarai Pottru’ meanwhile is a highly ambitious film that many firmly believe will be the much needed comeback for Suriya. Sudha Kongara of ‘Irudhi Suttru’ fame directing the film. Suriya’s own production house is backing the film along with Sikhya Entertainment.
As of now, only the first look posters of these films have released. So it is too early to comment on the release date. Let’s wait and see how things turn out.
