As is known, movie theaters in Tamil Nadu will be shutdown till April 14, 2020 due to the 21 days lock-down imposed for the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. This means that there will be increase in the number of Tamil movies queuing up for release once the curfew is taken off; this includes the ones that were held up from releasing since March 16, 2020 when Tamil Nadu CM Edappadi Palaniswami ordered a 15-day shut down for cinema halls.

It is worth mentioning here that during the state-wide lock-down it was understood that Tamil movies who had scheduled their release in the month of March will be given first priority to release once the theaters re-opened.

However, with the shut-down now extending to April and biggies like Master (Vijay), Soorarai Pottru (Suriya) and even Jagame Thandhiram (Dhanush), Cobra (Vikram) coming to play (the latter two were scheduled for a May, 2020 release), it seems like Kollywood will be facing a major pile-up of movies once normal is restored.

The movies that are estimated to be a part of this pile-up are listed below:

1. Dharala Prabhu - (Has announced a Re-Release)
2. Kaaval Thurai Ungal Nanban - March 20
3. Cocktail (Yogi Babu) - March 20
4. Pallu Padama Paathuka (Attakthi Dinesh) - March 20
5. Ponmagal Vandhal (Jyotika) - March 27
6. Kaadan (Vishnu Vishal) - April 2
7. Silence (Anushka Shetty) - April 2
8. Master (Vijay) - April 9
9. Takkar (Siddharth) - April 17
10. Katteri (Vaibhav) - April 17
11. Soorarai Pottru (Suriya) - May, 2020
12. Cobra (Vikram) - May, 2020
13. Jagame Thandhiram (Dhanush) - May, 2020
