Karthi and Jyothika's Thambi and Sivakarthikeyan's Hero directed by PS Mithran has released today. Hero is bankrolled by Kotapadi J. Rajesh under the banner KJR Studios. Kalyani Priyadarshan has marked her Kollywood debut through this film.
'Action King' Arjun and Abhay Deol play a crucial role in the film, and the music is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. On the other hand, Thambi is directed by Jeethu Joseph and the film features by Govind Vasantha.
It is a known fact that the films have a good advantage to score better at the box office due to the release close to Christmas and New Year holidays. But now, the government has announced holidays for the universities and colleges in Tamil Nadu due to the local body elections and these festivals.
This is a major advantage for both the big releases today as the chances of more people (students especially) opting to visit the cinemas are higher and hence, better collections.
