‘Sakthi Thirumagan' steps back from September 5 release, Vijay Antony's film avoids box office clash with Sivakarthikeyan's ‘Madharaasi'
'Sakthi Thirumagan', starring Vijay Antony , was initially announced to release on September 5th. But since the Sivakarthikeyan-AR Murugadoss duo's 'Madharaasi' was also releasing on the same day, the two big films were facing off head-to-head. Due to this, the production team decided to change the release date. Now, according to the official announcement, 'Sakthi Thirumagan' has been postponed from September 5 release, and it will hit the theatres on September 19. Vijay Antony's journey Vijay Antony, who started his film journey as a music composer, later made his debut as an actor with the film 'Naan'. He has subsequently acted in many successful films, including 'Salim', 'Pichaikkaran', 'Saithan', 'Yeman', 'Kodiyil Oruvan', 'Kolai', and 'Hitler'. His recent release 'Maargan' was also well-received by the audience. Arun Prabhu 's thriller 'Sakthi Thirumagan' is directed by Arun Prabhu, who has directed social criticism films like Aruvi and Vazh. It is reported that this film has been made in a thriller style, combining elements such as family relationships, emotions, and social backgrounds. With all the shooting and background work completed, the film was initially announced to be released on September 5th. Avoiding box office clash To avoid the box office clash with Sivakarthikeyan 's 'Madharaasi', the release date of 'Sakthi Thirumagan' has been changed. While fans are already eagerly awaiting the film's trailer and songs, it is a bit disappointing to have to wait even two more weeks; the desire to experience the film better on the big screen has increased even more. It is worth mentioning that Vijay Antony, who earlier sacrificed his titled 'Parasakthi' for Sivakarthikeyan's film with Sudha Kongara , has now left a place for the actor's 'Madharaasi' to have a grand solo release on September 5.
