The
count
down
for
the
release
of
Anjaan
has
begun.
The
movie,
which
is
releasing
this
Friday
(August
15),
is
the
biggest
South-Indian
release
for
this
Independence
Day.
Unsurprisingly,
it
is
opening
in
record
number
of
screens
in
Tamil
Nadu
and
others
parts
of
South
India.
This
fact
is
now
set
to
become
a
game-changer
at
the
collection
centres
and
crown
Surya
as
the
new
Box
Office
King.
"Records
are
set
to
be
broken.
True
to
this
words,
Anjaan
is
heading
towards
setting
new
records.
The
craze
around
the
movie
is
unimaginable
and
this
guarantees
a
big
success
for
the
movie
at
Box
Office.," Sai
Sharan,
a
trader,
says
with
confidence.
"The
hype
is
not
just
limited
to
Tamil
film
industry.
There
is
a
never-before
response
for
a
Surya
movie
in
Karnataka
and
Kerala
too.
And
we
hear
that
there
is
a
good
buzz
in
foreign
countries.
The
advance
booking
is
a
clear
sign
of
it," the
trader
adds.
He
concludes,
"What
works
as
the
biggest
advantage
for
Anjaan
is
that
no
big
movie
is
either
releasing
in
Karnataka
or
Kerala.
Even
in
Andhra
Pradesh,
the
release
of
Junior
NTR
starrer
Rabhasa
has
been
postponed.
This
will
come
as
a
key
factor
for
the
success
of
the
movie
at
Box
Office,"
Kochadaiiyaan,
Jilla,
Veeram
There
is
an
interesting
observation
made
by
Kerala-based
trader
Ram
Prasad.
He
feels
that
Anjaan
could
easily
break
the
records
of
Kochadaiiyaan,
Jilla
and
Veeram.
These
films
were
released
in
less
than
1000
screens
worldwide.
1500
Screens
Anjaan
will
be
released
in
1500
screens
worldwide
in
two
languages
(Tamil
and
Telugu).
This
alone
is
enough
for
industry
insiders
to
declare
Surya
as
the
new
Box
Office
King.
First
Weekend
Records
At
least,
Surya's
Anjaan
will
be
breaking
some
records
at
the
Box
Office
in
the
first
weekend
as
the
tickets
for
the
three
days
would
be
sold
in
advance.
If
the
movie
gets
positive
response,
then,
the
film
might
be
unstoppable
in
all
the
key
markets.
Singham
Returns
The
only
big
release
that
could
compete
with
Anjaan
is
Hindi
film
Singham
Returns
starring
Ajay
Devgn
and
Kareena
Kapoor.
The
bilingual
movie
is
being
released
in
450
screens
in
the
state
which
is
the
highest
for
a
Tamil
movie
in
2014.
Anjaan
Jilla
and
Veeram
were
released
in
350+
screens.
Kochadaiiyaan
was
released
in
above
400
screens
in
the
state.
In
Kerala
and
Karnataka,
it
is
releasing
in
100+
and
75+
screens.
Anjaan
will
be
played
in
58
and
25
screens
in
the
UK
and
France
respectively.
In
Malaysia,
it
is
getting
a
warm
reception.
The
screen
count
numbers
have
made
the
tradersclaim
that
Anjaan
could
easily
take
Surya
to
the
next
level.
