Ajith in Thunivu

Kollywood is eagerly looking forward to the impending box office clash between Ajith's Thunivu and Vijay's Varisu. Both the movies announced their arrival for the Pongal festival in January a while ago, and fans of their stars have been curious about the release dates.

Makers of Varisu had officially announced recently that the movie will hit the screens on January 12 in Tamil and Telugu. However, team Thunivu is yet to announce their plans. But there is news doing the rounds that the film is likely to release on January 11, a day ahead of Varisu.

The H Vinoth directorial will also be released in Telugu, but the title of its dubbed version is yet to be decided. Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios have bankrolled the action drama which stars Manju Warrier and Samuthirakani, too, in key roles. The first single from the project, Chilla Chilla, will be unveiled tomorrow.

Ghibran has composed music for the song which has lyrics by Vaisagh and voice lent by Anirudh Ravichander. Thunivu is said to have three songs in total. Ajith's previous outing Valimai, too, had Ghibran scoring its background music. A short bit from the first single was leaked the other day, leaving fans slightly disappointed.

John Kokken and Prem Kumar among others will be seen essaying important roles in the movie which has action choreography handled by Supreme Sundar. Nirav Shah and Vijay Velukutty were in charge of cinematography and editing respectively.

Netflix has acquired the film's digital rights; its OTT premiere is expected to happen around the last week of February. Red Giant Movies and Lyca Productions have bagged the movie's theatrical rights in Tamil Nadu and overseas markets respectively.
