GOAT falls below Leo - Venkat Prabhu mocks Lokesh- Copycat case again on Atlee

Thalapathy Vijay- Venkat Prabhu GOAT opening day collection in four South States and North India is lower than previous film Leo of Lokesh Kanagaraj. Leo first day opening in India was Rs 64 crores while GOAT is Rs 43 crores net. Globally the film opening is Rs around Rs 100 crore and less than Leo’s Rs 143 crores. Chennai with 1100 shows showed a near 100 % occupancy and this was not so in other releasing areas. Yet another factor that GOAT had is that it got special permission to screen shows at 2 AM of Friday. Kerala had 2200 shows and touched only Rs 4-5 crores. As Lokesh factor has made a big difference to the box office numbers in all releasing areas, Venkat Prabhu who took a dig at Lokesh before release asking viewers to watch Kaithi before coming to Vikram tweeted -U guys don’t need to watch any movie before coming for #TheGreatestOfAllTime just come and have fun!! It’s all yours!!! Let’s celebrate our #Thalapathy in theatres!! The #GOAT is here!!! Another three hours to go world!! is now under attack from LOKI fans. Chennai the fan base of M S Dhoni who makes a cameo is showing full houses on second day and as Vinayaka Chaturthi sets in, the box office will continue to roar.
While we reported on Atlee going to direct Salman in Hindi film, an old issue has cropped up. One Amjath Meeran who had filed a copyright case against AGS Movies, Atlee for lifting Bigil from his story Brasil in 2019 has surfaced again. At that time he lost the case. Now he has produced a 2015 dated certificate from Writers Guild of America ( west) for his story Brasil from which Bigil was born. Court has issued notices.
Paal Dabba the Chennai rapper new song Kaathu Mela is trending on social media and has crossed over to Japan and North India. The song is about his being at Chennai police station for having riding a bike without a helmet. The video captures the overcrowded station and his two hour wait. For those saw Avesham the Fahad Faasil film, will remember the song Galatta and His name is John sung by him for Dhruv Natchitram of GVM – Vikram film. Apple's ad for Mac done by TBWA-Media Arts Lab APAC featured Paal Dabba's song '170CM'
