Thalapathy v/s Dhanush for Puja fest - Vetrimaaran take on KGF - Keerthi Suresh films wrapped up

Thalapathy Vijay's film "Leo" and Dhanush's film "Captain Miller" are both scheduled to release in October. According to sources, the makers of "Leo" have announced October 19th as the release date. Similarly, Sathyajothi Thyagarajan, the producer of "Captain Miller," is also aiming for that date. The reason behind this preference is that the following Monday and Tuesday are holidays due to the Pooja festival, resulting in a five-day holiday run for the film. During a Q&A session, Thyagarajan mentioned that the film's subject and the director, Arun Matheeswaran, convinced him to invest significantly and transform it into a Pan Indian film. Some scenes required British actors, so the shooting schedule had to be adjusted to accommodate their availability. Consequently, after Vijay's film "Varisu" clashed with Ajith's "Thunivu" on January 11th during the Tamil New Year festival, now it will be Vijay versus Dhanush for the Ayudha Puja festival.

In an interview, producer Gananvelraja announced that Vetrimaaran and Dhanush will collaborate on a project set against the backdrop of the Kolar Gold Mines. Gananvelraja also mentioned that Vetrimaaran is currently conducting research on the subject. This revelation indicates that Vetrimaaran is working on a version of KGF that will be based on real incidents recorded in history. It is exciting news that the successful duo of Vetrimaaran and Dhanush, who have previously worked together on four hit movies, will be joining forces once again. After completing "Vidhuthalai 2," Vetrimaaran is set to direct Suriya's "Vaadivasaal."
