It would be an interesting battle at the box-office for Deepavali. The movies releasing to lighten up the festival include Suriya's ‘Varanam Aayiram’, Ajith-starrer ‘Aegan’, Madhavan's ‘Guru En Aalu’ and Bharath's ‘Seval’.

Interestingly, Dhanush's ‘Padikathavan’ and Silambarasan's ‘Silambattam’ have backed out of the race at the last moment. It looks likely that they would hit the screens in November.

Expectations are high for ‘Varanam Aayiram’ that brings together the stunners Suriya and director Gautham Vasudev Menon after ‘Kaakha Kaakha’. Ajith's ‘Aegan’ is expected to open big as it’s a come back stylish venture after ‘Billa’. Hari wields the megaphone for ‘Seval’. Madhavn's ‘Guru En Aalu’ is inspired by Bollywood hit ‘Yes Boss’.
