Tamil cinema is gearing up for a classic Vijay versus Ajith battle as their films, Velayudham and Mankatha respectively, are getting ready for an August release.
Velayudham director M Raja, has said in an interview that his film is slated for an August release. Mankatha producer Dhayanidhi Alagiri had recently, through a tweet, confirmed that his film would be released in August.
Dhananjayan of UTV and leading producer has tweeted-"They may release in the same month (August) but not same day."
It looks like there will be a two weeks gap between both the films.
As per industry sources it has also created an unnecessary tug of war between the fans of Ajith and Vijay. Remember recently the stars themselves had met and buried the hatchet.
On the trade front also it has created tension, as both the films are looking for buyers. The trade is abuzz on how to accommodate the two biggies.
This will have a bearing on the price factor and MG (Minimum Guarantee) being offered by the exhibitors. The buzz is that both the films are looking for a single party buyer to market the film
