Official: NGK pulls out; No clash with Sarkar for Diwali

Suriya’s NGK is highly anticipated by the Tamil cinema audience. The movie marks his first time collaboration with the ace filmmaker Selvaraghavan. Touted to be a political drama, the movie has Suriya playing the role of an MLA. Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet Singh play the two female leads in the movie. Right from its announcement, NGK was planned as a Diwali release but the makers have now decided to postpone it to a further date.

Producers Dream Warriors Pictures have issued an official statement informing about the postponing. NGK’s shoot was progressing at a brisk pace but director Selvaraghavan’s health issues forced a delay in shooting schedules. The movie was supposed to clash with Vijay’s Sarkar for this Diwali. Both the films being political entertainers, many were eagerly looking forward to the clash.

Since it is clear that the makers of NGK are eyeing a date post Diwali, Christmas or New Year seems to be the most favorable time. NGK is said to be one of the most challenging films that Suriya has done so far in his career. So the makers will most likely be looking for a solo release to ensure a grand opening.
