Tamil movies are all set for a battle royal this coming Independence Day weekend with several blockbusters slated to release on the same day. The latest film to enter the fray is the romance entertainer ‘Hi’ starring Nayanthara and Kavin, whose production house has now announced the release of the film on August 14th. The news immediately got tongues wagging as ‘Hi’ will lock horns with another blockbuster, Suriya’s ‘Vishwanath And Sons’. With another major Tamil release also scheduled for the same day, industry observers are expecting a fierce battle for screens and audience attention.
‘Hi’ confirms August 14 release, sets up clash with ‘Vishwanath And Sons’
The makers have unveiled a new announcement video confirming that ‘Hi’ will be released worldwide on August 14. The look shows Nayanthara in a bold avatar, confidently waving at the audience with a sickle in hand, introducing a character with a fierce edge. Kavin is also seen in the video riding in the rain, which adds to the mystery of the film. Kavin shared the release announcement soon, and “Mayilerum Murugan Thunai” was posted on social media, becoming an instant hit with fans. The announcement has sparked fresh curiosity as the film gears up to face one of the most anticipated Tamil releases of the year.
Suriya’s ‘Vishwanath And Sons’ is facing stiff competition at the box office
With ‘Suriya’s Vishwanath And Sons’ already scheduled for August 14, the arrival of ‘Hi’ is a big development. Expectations are high for Suriya’s film, especially after the commercial success of Karuppu, which did well at the box office and with critics. ‘Vishwanath And Sons’ is touted to be a family entertainer with emotional and commercial elements and is expected to attract a large audience. However, ‘Hi’ seems to focus on a different side with a mix of romance, emotion and mystery. Two star-driven movies will open at the same time, which is likely to boost a healthy box-office contest and give moviegoers more options over the long holiday weekend.
