Shocking! No new Tamil movie releases for this week? Is this the reason?

Legendary director Mani Ratnam finally fulfilled the dream of many Kollywood stalwarts by giving life to 'Ponniyin Selvan' on big screens, which is based on Kalki's five-part novel of the same name. The film was released on September 30 and was acclaimed by fans and critics.

The hot news currently is that the Tamil films slated to be released in the upcoming week were pushed to a later date due to the box office rampage by 'PS1'. Reportedly, the release of Sundar C's 'Coffee with Kaadhal', Arun Vijay starrer 'Borrder', Aravind Swamy starrer 'Sathuranga Vettai 2' and Shiva starrer 'Kasethan Kadavulada' are likely to be postponed.

'Ponniyin Selvan 1' making record-shattering collections at the box office. The film had taken a humongous opening and minted around Rs 220 crores worldwide at the box office. The 'PS1' wave resulted in a situation in which we can't expect any immediate new releases in Kollywood as the demand for Ponniyin Selvan is skyrocketed. The tickets for the upcoming week are almost sold out.
