Vikram- Gautham Menon Dhruv Natchitram v/s Suriya's Retro - A coincidence ? / Thalaivar and Thalapathy rule North America

Long awaited Dhruv Natchitram of Vikram- GVM is set for a May 1st release and guess what it is to face Suriya- Kartik Subburaj Retro. If the report is true and it states that Tirupur Subramanian the Coimbatore igg Boss who has taken the job to release the Vikram film has held multiple screenings for Distributors and told them that May 1 st is release date. Now this film is expected to do what Madha Gaja Raja did for Vishal. Interestingly, Subramnian and Suriya had a faceoff during the Covid time over the latter going to OTT instead of theatres. The exhibitor had said that Suriya will lose his fan base by taking the OTT route. Post Covid, Suriya has to deliver a hit. Secondly, Gautham Vasudev Menon still cribs about Suriya giving him the cold shoulder after giving three hits . Report based on https://www.moviecrow.com/News/34588/dhruva-natchathiram-vikram-suriya-retro-release-date Director Vetrimaaran confirmed the update given by Producer Thanu during a recent appearance at an event. The film’s pre-production is progressing steadily, and shooting is expected to commence in May or June. Vaadivaasal marks Suriya and Vetrimaaran’s first collaboration According to Only My Health, in an interview, the actor said he maintained a no-salt and no-sugar diet to get those six-pack abs within 100 days. The actor even sacrificed biryani and adopted sugar abstinence to get picture-perfect abs. Despite his strict diet, Suriya has a favorite dish: Kongu biryani, a traditional meal made with rice and lentils.

North America is biggest overseas box office for any Indian film and Tamil films are no exception. A look at the top 10 Tamil films that excited North American based Tamil viewers shows that it has Superstar Rajinikanth and Thalapathy Vijay and an odd Ponniyin Selvan both parts ( Mani the Director’s draw) and Kamal’s Vikram that came after a long gap. So we can expect Coolie – Vijay-H Vinoth and Kamal- Mani Thug Life to rock in this region. Will Sivakarthikeyan- Dhanush- Suriya and AK come in to fill Thalapathy gap ? Back in home territory, Dhanush directed NEEK is now inching towards 7 crores. But it is far away from its budget recovery and might wrap up without covering even half of its budget. Dhanush’s last directorial Raayan amassed around 60 crores in 7 days.
