Latest news from the camp of Vijay’s Vettaikaran suggests that the movie may not after all make it for Diwali, the originally proposed release date. With just over two weeks left for Diwali there are quite a few portions of the film that remain to be shot. This includes a few talkie scenes and a song for which the crew plans to go to Australia. With so much work remaining there are doubts whether the film will be ready in time for the festive season.

With Sun Pictures having acquired the movie, there have been talks with Vijay regarding this issue. Vijay is said to have opined that the remaining work need not be unduly hurried; it can be done in the best way possible. Sun Pictures have agreed to this and with that it has been more or less ascertained that Vetaikaran will not be ready for Diwali. If not Diwali, then when will Vettaikaran release?

Obviously there are no plans to go in for a mid-season release and the producers are willing to wait for the next festival season to set in, which is Pongal. With that a major change has occurred in the highly anticipated star clashes. Everyone expected Aadhavan and Vettaikaran to clash for the honors this Diwali. But now, with Vettaikaran’s Pongal shift, Aadhavan is free and guess what, it is going to be a head on with Asal which is also gearing up for a Pongal release. So, it is going to be the marquee clash one more time, Vijay vs. Ajith.
