According to trade
circles, Jigarthanda Double x is a flop and will not recover the cost from
India collections. The overseas distributor Ahimsa had made a profit. After
Diwali , the film saw 57 % drop and after 7 days the collection was Rs 30
crores. One reason is that rains lashed major centers in Tamil Nadu. The word
of mouth publicity was exactly opposite of the media that praised the film. Even Rajinikanth public praise has not helped.
The budget of the film at Rs 100 cr was unrealistic and with Lawrence and S J Suryah
in the lead it was a big gamble. Karthik Subburaj as director was missing from
theatres and his two films Jagame Thanthiram and Maahan released on OTT were
disasters. The second week has World Cup semi and Finals. Five Star Kathiresan
and Ivenio Origin a Dubai based company had funded Karthik’s Stone Bench films.
Red Giant were the distributors. Ajith's Viswasam and Dhanusg 3 has been re-released as the Diwali films have crashed.
Kamal Haasan will
join Thug Life only after The May 2024 Lok Sabha elections according to sources
close to the production House Madrs Talkies. In coming four months, he will
complete H Vinoth film and release before the official Election Commission announcement.
As he is going contest in alliance with DMK, any film featuring him cannot be
released after poll date is made by EC. Unconfirmed reports say that the film
deals with exploitation of farmers.

Viswasam and Sivakarthikeyan Hero. Keerthy plays a cop and Anupama who came on
board plays what ?. Anupama is a established heroine in Tollywood.
Dulquer is soon to join

in a Telugu film Lucky Bhaskar. Dulquer is not doing a cameo but a full-fledged
role, Balayya with three blockbuster hits in a row is the box office favourite.
