It’s Thaana Serntha Koottam vs Sketch this Pongal

Festival seasons are always a great time to release movies. Filmmakers plan their movies’ release accordingly to cash in on the holiday season. The week long Pongal festival has always proved to be an excellent season for the Tamil film industry. This coming season also promises to be no different as many big-ticket films are lined up for release.

Suriya’s Thaana Serntha Koottam (TSK) and Vikram’s Sketch are the two biggies that will be clashing in January. Both the movies are eagerly awaited by the audience as well as the industry insiders.

Thaana Serntha Koottam directed by Vignesh Shivan is loosely inspired from Akshay Kumar’s superhit movie Special 26. The promos have all been very promising and Anirudh’s songs have proved to be a big booster for the movie. The movie has a huge supporting cast that includes Keerthy Suresh, Ramya Krishnan, Kalaiarasan, Nandha, Sathyan, popular yesteryear comedian Senthil, Saranya Ponvannan, KS Ravikumar, RJ Balaji and Thambi Ramaiah among others. KE Gnanavel Raja’s Studio Green is producing this movie.

Vikram’s Sketch is a typical mass entertainer written and directed by Vijay Chander of Vaalu fame. Tamannah Bhatia is paired opposite Vikram in this movie. Veteran actor Radha Ravi, Soori, Priyanka, Sriman, Ravi Kishan and RK Suresh are also part of the cast. SS Thaman is handling the music department and M Sukumar has taken care of the cinematography. Sketch is produced by Kalaipuli S Thaanu, who has funded movies like Kabali and Theri. Vikram has had no releases in 2017, so he will be looking forward to bounce back with a big hit.
