If Varisu and Thunivu had been released on different days, industry professionals predict that their combined earnings would have been four times as high.
Vijay's Varisu and Ajith's Thunivu tossed a big fight as they hit the theatres at the same time, the time which is extremely rare and special for the ardent fans.
The order has come as a shock to the fans and the theatres as the exhibitors have already planned to screen early morning shows to have a good fill in the coffers and to manage the influx of the fans.
Simbu is reprising Shivarajkumar's role. Gautham Karthik, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Gautham Menon, Teejay, and Kalaiyarasan among others in pivotal roles.
