A Rajinikanth film isn't just a film, it's an event for his fans across the country. He's back in his action avatar in the new film Annaatthe. It seems to have blockbuster written all over it.

A Tamil action drama written and directed by Siva starring Rajinikanth, what else would one want for Diwali! The film boasts of an ensemble cast including Meena, Khushbu, Nayanthara, and Keerthy Suresh as the female leads, and Jackie Shroff, Jagapathi Babu, Prakash Raj, Vela Ramamoorthy, and Soori in prominent roles.

The news of theatres reopening in Maharashtra has brought with it a huge cheer for the film enthusiasts and film industry alike. With Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray allowing the cinemas in the state to reopen from October 22, this Diwali will bring a huge dhamaka at the box office with three biggies clashing with each other.

Audience is expected to flock to the theatres in huge numbers, given how the pandemic has deprived them of the big screen experience for so long. It will certainly get the cash registers ringing at the box office. The festive occasion of Diwali is eyed by filmmakers every year for their big banner releases, so it will be a time for the big clashes once again. The clash is between this juggernaut, Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi, and Hollywood's biggie Eternals. Let's see who wins at the ticket windows.
