The competition is fierce between Rajinikanth’s Petta and Thala Ajith’s Viswasam. The two big releases will be clashing with each other today and are competing with each other for 1000 screens in Tamil Nadu ahead of Pongal. There is a very stiff competition as to which film will acquire the most screens in the state. This is the first time in a decade that a big film is releasing along with Rajinikanth’s movie.

The start of 2019 is turning out to be an exciting period for Kollywood. Two mega movies, Superstar Rajinikanth’s Petta and Thala Ajith’s Viswasam, are releasing on January 10 worldwide. In recent times, no two big hero Tamil films have released on the same day. This has created havoc in the Tamil film trade as screens and shows get divided.

The last time big hero films clashed on the same day was nearly 14 years back; April 14, 2005, saw Rajinikanth’s Chandramukhi taking on Vijay’s Sachein. A day later, Kamal Haasan’s Mumbai Express hit the screens. Of course, the Pongal of 2014 saw the Vijay versus Ajith confrontation when Jilla clashed with Veeram.

Two or three biggies releasing on a festival date is a very healthy trend for the film Industry and will ensure better release dates for other small and medium budget films.All the best for #Viswasam and #Petta releasing tomorrow!👍

The trailer of the films had created a huge controversy among fans of both superstars. The Petta trailer ends with Rajinikanth warning his detractors and enemies (in the film) to run away. Viswasam’s trailer ends with Ajith calling himself a family man and ready for a showdown with his enemies over it. Meme creators in Tamil Nadu are having a field day, thus increasing the expectation meter for both films.
