Vijay's Bigil likely to be a step above Karthi's Kaithi this Diwali after securing maximum screens worldwide

Firstpost  

It is going to be a cracker of a Diwali in Kollywood, as one of the biggest superstar’s in Tamil Cinema, Vijay, will have his film Bigil pitched against Karthi-starrer Kaithi. The late Film News Anandan, in his writings on Tamil cinema, had once mentioned how important the Diwali tradition is in Tamil Nadu – “An early morning oil bath, a sumptuous breakfast with special sweets, wearing new clothes, and watching a Diwali Tamil superstar release is what makes it special.” Once upon a time, in the 1980s and ’90s, Tamil superstars like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan used to have regular Diwali releases. And every year, when 200 odd Tamil films are releasing, and every Friday is overcrowded, it makes sense to release two biggies on a festival date.” Bigil is clearly the most preferred film among exhibitors and distributors worldwide, and should get prime showcasing, as it is a Vijay film. And if the distributor has to get back his money, they have to get maximum screens and shows across Tamil Nadu’s 1112 odd screens, and also get a high MG amount from theatres.
