Chennai: Siva Karthikeyan’s Rajini Murugan seems to lead the race for this Pongal. The movie despite delayed release gets more number of screens compared with remaining films.
Keerthi Suresh has shared screen space with Siva Karthikeyan. The movie has a stellar cast of actors like Soori, Rajkiran, Samuthirakani. Ponram who started his career with ‘Varuthapadatha Vaalibar Sangam’ has directed the movie.
The movie releases along with ‘Tharai Thappattai’, ‘Gethu’ and ‘Kathakali’. Now despite this tightly packed release, ‘Rajini Murugan’ has grabbed the most number of screens. Trade sources say that the movie is releasing across 350+ screens.
Regarding this, a trade source said, “Rajini Murugan seems to hold the horses for this Pongal race. This shows the fan base of Siva Karthikeyan. Even for ‘B’ and ‘C’ centers, ‘Rajini Murugan’ gets the lead pack. But good word of mouth matters by the end of a day. The screen count is secondary. We need to keep fingers crossed till then.”
