The millions of Thalapathy Vijay fans had a sudden and sweet surprise as the official words from the 'Bigil' producers came out of the blue confirming that the much-anticipated film will hit the screens on Diwali 2019.  Directed by Atlee with A.R. Rahman providing the music the ensemble cast includes Vijay, Nayanthara, Kathir, Indhuja, Yogi Babu, Anandaraj, Vivek, Daniel Balaji and Jackie Shroff.

Archana Kalpathi of AGS Entertainment shared on social media 'Bigil'l is our dream project. We have given it our heart and soul. Our Thalapathy gave close to 150 days of his dates and we shot for 200 days almost without break. Over 400 technicians have worked on this film. There were almost 1000 ppl on set for 80% of the film.  As a production house our first duty is to our team ,to ensure there are no issues during shoot. Our director Atlee had a dream to create a sports film in a scale that you have not seen before. We have supported this dream to the best of our ability."

Archana has further added "As a Thalapathy fan I know the wait has been too much and frustrating but it was sometimes very demoralizing to see content on social media when you know that you and your team have done your best to exceed expectations and worked 24/7.  To give updates content had to be ready, content that will exceed your expectations. Hence the time. So thank you for waiting. We need all your support, goodwill and encouragement to do that  Just wanted to clear the air before the update that the wait is over and let the games begin Our Thalapathy’s 'Bigil' produced by Kalpathi S Aghoram will hit screens worldwide this Deepavali

Trust me the next update will be #Verithanam and it will be worth the wait ???? GoodNight #SeptemberWillBeFullOfUpdates ??
