Why does this story matter?
Other than 2020 (the pandemic year), theaters in Tamil Nadu have always witnessed huge footfalls during Diwali as movies of big stars like Rajinikanth, Vijay, etc, release around this time.
Last year, Rajinikanth's Annaatthe clashed with Vishal and Arya's Enemy.
In 2019, Karthi's Kaithi and Vijay's Bigil locked horns.
So, films that premiere during Diwali have always attracted more attention from audiences.
