Three more films will compete with Kamal Haasan's film during the Pongal weekend. After his disastrous Saguni, Karthi will return action-drama Alex Pandian.
Vishal, who didn't have a single release in 2012, will be back with romantic-action Samar. Santhanam's debut production, romantic-comedy Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaya, will also release during the same weekend.
Pongal is the biggest festival season for south Indians and since it is celebrated over four days, most films want to cash in on this opportunity. This year, including two big Telugu releases, four Tamil films, will clash at the box-office, said trade analyst Trinath.
With more than 400 theatres in Tamil Nadu already being blocked for the release of Vishwaroopam, a Rs.95-crore budget film, it will be tough for other films to find a healthy number of theatres.
