Going
by
the
present
trend
and
happenings,
Diwali
2018,
by
all
magnitude
would
be
humongous.
After
a
gap
of
15
long
years,
the
coming
Diwali
could
witness
an
epic
clash
between
the
present
generation
stars.
The
last
time
Vijay
Ajith
and
Suriya
battled
at
the
box
office
was
in
2003.
A
Quick
Rewind:
Diwali
2003
Way
back
in
2003,
the
said
three
stars
had
locked
horns
with
each
other
for
the
festive
occasion.
Vijay,
who
was
on
the
verge
of
getting
a
makeover
from
being
a
lover
boy
to
a
mass
hero,
entered
the
scene
with
Thirumalai.
Ajith,
had
donned
the
role
of
a
police
officer
for
the
first
time
in
his
career
and
the
movie
was
riding
high
on
expectations.
So
much
was
the
expectation
level
that,
the
remake
rights
of
the
movie
was
bought
by
Telugu
actor
Rajashekar
even
before
the
release
of
the
movie.
Suriya
on
the
other
hand
was
basking
in
the
success
of
Mounam
Pesiyadhe
and
Kaakha
Kaakha.
Pithamagan,
a
movie
with
terrific
names
on
papers
with
the
likes
of
Bala,
Vikram,
Suriya,
Ilaiyaraaja
etc.
was
all
set
to
make
wonders
at
the
box
office.
Result
Both
Suriya
and
Vijay
emerged
as
Diwali
winners
as
Pithamagan
and
Thirumalai
were
well
received
by
the
audience
resulting
in
commercial
success.
Ajith's
Anjaneya
fizzled
out
at
the
box
office
due
to
its
screen
treatment
and
lack
of
consistency
in
the
direction.
The
Possible
Clash:
Diwali
2018
Thalapathy
Vijay
is
riding
high
post
the
stupendous
success
of
Mersal,
and
the
actor
would
be
joining
hands
with
his
favourite
director,
AR
Murugadoss,
who
was
earlier
the
reason
for
Vijay's
major
blockbusters,
Thuppakki
and
Kaththi.
Sun
Pictures
would
be
bankrolling
the
movie
and
the
promotions
of
the
movie
would
be
top-notch.
An
official
confirmation
about
the
movie's
release
date
is
yet
to
be
announced.
Thala
Ajith,
will
be
seen
collaborating
with
Siruthai
Siva
for
the
fourth
time
after
Veeram,
Vedhalam
and
Vivegam.
The
upcoming
project
is
titled
as
Viswasam,
which
will
be
funded
by
Sai
Jyothi
Films.
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja
is
rumoured
to
be
scoring
music
for
the
movie.
Though
Ajith
boasts
of
a
loyal
fan
base,
his
previous
movie
met
with
mixed
reactions
which
eventually
did
not
do
well
at
the
box
office.
Ajith
fans
are
hoping
for
a
good
content
and
execution
by
Siva
as
they
are
sure
that
a
decent
word
of
mouth
for
the
movie
would
do
wonders
at
the
box
office.
Suriya,
who
pulls
off
extraordinary
stuff
even
with
mediocre
directors
has
now
got
a
chance
to
expose
his
complete
potential
as
he
would
be
working
with
the
master
class
director,
Selvaraghavan.
The
36th
movie
of
Suriya's
career
is
confirmed
by
Selva
that
it
would
not
be
another
run
around
the
mill
kind
of
a
movie
but
instead
offers
a
different
experience
to
the
viewers.
Though
it
would
be
the
clash
of
these
three
stars,
the
scene
is
way
too
different
from
2003
as
all
the
three
stars
are
giant
names
in
Kollywood
circles.
One
could
expect
an
epic
clash
and
a
huge
amount
of
money
spinning
at
the
box
office
if
all
three
movies
release
together.
