Amidst the plagiarism row Vijay starrer Sarkar is in currently, buzz is that the A.R. Murugadoss directed movie which is slated for a simultaneous release in both Tamil and Telugu on November 6, 2018 might release earlier than the Diwali day i.e on November 2, 2018.
Apparently the overseas and rest of India (other than Tamil Nadu) trade circle have appealed for an early release and since Sun Pictures has never really made an official announcement on the release date till now and hence it is to be seen which date the makers would be locking.
However, if the movie does hit theater screens on November 2, 2018 it could prove beneficiary as the opening release weekend would be followed by Diwali holidays and it would ensure a good 1st week run.
On the other hand, day 1 crowd might not be as huge, for the days before Diwali is also the time when people travel the most, not to mention the Diwali sentiment it would be breaking within Tamil Nadu for a Vijay's film.
