Looks like the box office is gearing up for a star-studded clash this September. Dulquer Salmaan’s much-anticipated film Kaantha and Sivakarthikeyan’s action entertainer Madharasi are both reportedly eyeing a release on September 5, setting up an exciting face-off between two of South cinema’s most popular stars.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the duo has shared release buzz in the same time frame. Just last year, Dulquer’s Lucky Bhaskar and Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran were simultaneously in the spotlight, with both films going on to become major blockbusters. Now, with both Kaantha and Madharasi nearing completion and promotional campaigns expected to begin soon, industry insiders are closely watching to see if both films will indeed lock horns on the same date.
Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, Kaantha is touted to be a gripping thriller with Dulquer in a never-seen-before role. On the other hand, Madharasi, helmed by AR Murugadoss, marks a major comeback for Sivakarthikeyan into mass action territory, promising a blend of high-octane stunts and commercial appeal.
If both films hold their September 5 release, fans can expect a grand showdown at the box office, with two distinct genres and charismatic leads drawing in audiences. Whether the clash will hold or one will shift remains to be seen – but either way, South cinema lovers are in for a treat.
