Kollywood witnessed a few surprises this year in the form of unexpected hits. Vignesh Raja's Por Thozhil was one such movie; the film starring Sarath Kumar and Ashok Selvan turned out to be a big hit. The crime drama dropped on SonyLIV a few days ago, after almost two months of its theatrical release.
Another surprise hit in recent times was Santhanam's DD Returns. The horror-comedy helmed by Prem Anand was released without any expectations and attracted the audience with its shorter run time and humour scenes.
The actors who played the lead in the two movies, Sarath Kumar and Santhanam, are now ready for a box office clash. Both their projects are getting released on September 1. While the former is coming up with Paramporul directed by Aravind Raj, the latter has Kick which has been helmed by Prashant Raj.
Both the actors are fresh from the success of their recent outings, and this seems to be the major reason behind the makers of the two films announcing their release dates in a hurry. While Paramporul is a thriller, Kick is touted to be a rom-com.
Sarath is on a roll this year, with back-to-back hits like Varisu and Ponniyin Selvan 2. He has almost half-a-dozen projects lined up awaiting releases. Santhanam, on the other hand, has had a few failures after which he has delivered success with DD Returns.
Yogi Babu's Lucky Man and Thangar Bachan's Karumegangal Kalaigindrana are other Tamil movies that are releasing on the same day in Tamil. Rakshit Shetty's Saptha Sagaradhache Ello and Vijay Deverakonda, Samantha's Kushi are movies that are hitting the screens on September 1 from other languages.
