There is a “you-first” game going on among the Kollywood biggies as to who will announce the release date first. And here we have it officially but through indirect channels.

The two biggies are Superstar Rajinikanth starrer Petta and Thala Ajith’s Viswasam. Both the films have announced Pongal release long ago, but have not been forthright with the release date. Finally, the Rajinikanth starrer’s release date was announced through the Telugu dubbing, Peta. The Telugu producer who has taken the rights confirmed its arrival on January 10th. Within minutes a leaked poster of Viswasam emerged highlighting the January 10th release.

Date to date, clash with a Superstar film has not happened for many years. Here not only is the clash happening, but that is among two big stars. It will be interesting to see who emerges as the winner in this particular battle at the box office.

Interestingly, January 10th was the single window among the Sankranthi line up of Telugu movies. So, it was always expected that Peta would arrive on that date. It remains to be seen if Viswasam makers too make last-minute dubbed arrival in Telugu.
