Vijay Antony’s ‘Shakthi Thirumagan’ to clash with Sivakarthikeyan’s ‘Madharasi’ in September

The makers of Shakthi Thirumagan, Tamil actor Vijay Antony’s upcoming film with Aruvi director Arun Prabu Purushothaman, announced on Thursday (July 10) that the film will release in theatres on September 5, clashing with Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharasi.

Vijay Antony Film Corporation, the banner owned by the actor’s wife and producer Fatima Vijay Antony, announced the news on its official X handle.

The cast of Shakthi Thirumagan also includes Vaagai Chandrasekar, Sunil Kriplani, Cell Murugan, Trupti Ravindra, and child actor Keshav. Vijay Antony will be handling the music for the film.

Cinematographer Shelley Calist and editor Raymond Derrick Crasta, who were a part of Arun’s films Aruvi and Vaazhl, are also on board Shakthi Thirumagan. The film will also be released in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam under the title Bhadrakaali.

Notably, a controversy had erupted earlier over the ownership of the Telugu title of Shakthi Thirumagan. The film was originally titled Parasakthi in Telugu, which is also the title of Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming film with Sudha Kongara. The producers of the two films later met and resolved the issue, finalising that Sivakarthikeyan’s film will be titled Parasakthi in both Tamil and Telugu and that Vijay’s film will be titled Shakthi Thirumagan in Tamil and Bhadrakaali in Telugu.
