Tamil cinema is gearing up for a royal battle this Independence Day weekend with several blockbusters slated to release on the same day. The latest film to join the show is the romantic thriller ‘Hi’ starring Nayanthara and Kavin, whose production house has announced the release of the film on August 14. The news immediately started to shake up when ‘Hi’ locked horns with another blockbuster, Suriya’s ‘Vishwanath And Sons’. With another big Tamil release slated to happen on the same day, industry watchers expect a huge battle for viewership and audience interest.
‘Hi’ confirms August 14 release, sparking controversy with ‘Vishwanath And Sons’
The makers have unveiled a new promotional video confirming that ‘Hi’ will release worldwide on August 14. The picture shows Nayanthara in a bold avatar, waving boldly at the audience with a sickle in hand, pointing to a man with a fierce edge. Kavin is also seen in the video riding in the rain, which adds to the mystery of the film. Kavin shared the announcement recently, and “Mayilerum Murugan Thunai” was posted on social media, becoming popular among fans. The announcement has created a new buzz as the film is set to face one of the most anticipated releases of the year in Tamil.
Suriya’s ‘Vishwanath And Sons’ is facing stiff competition at the box office
With ‘Suriya’s Vishwanath And Sons’ already scheduled for August 14, the arrival of ‘Hi’ is a big development. Expectations are high for the Suriya film, especially after the commercial success of Karuppu, which did well at the box office and with critics. ‘Vishwanath And Sons’ is known as a family entertainer with an emotional and commercial feel and is expected to be a huge hit. However, ‘Hi’ seems to be looking for another dimension with its mix of love, passion and mystery. Two star-studded films will open at the same time, which could lead to competition at the box office and give moviegoers plenty of choice for the holiday season.
