It's a different sort of a battle between a mentor and his protege at the box office this Friday. For not just the movies directed by them are gracing theatres but also their scions are making a foray on to the big screen.

Pandiarajan, a one-time associate of Bhagyaraj, came out to establish himself as a successful actor-director. Never did he fail to give due credit to Bhagyaraj for shaping up his career and teaching him the nuances of film-making.

Unfortunately both the Guru and Sishya did not venture to direct a movie in the last few years. Now both are back with Parijatham and Kai Vandha Kalai respectively.

Parijatham features Bhagyaraj's daughter while Kai Vandha Kala has Pandiarajan's son.

Let's see who emerges the winner in the race.
