'Vishwaroopam-2', delayed by a couple of years, is finally hitting the screens on August 10. Kamal Haasan has penned and directed this spy thriller. The commentary by sections of analysts is that the actor-politician is lucky to have found a safe release date. Nayanthara's much-awaited film 'Kolamaavu Kokila' (Tamil) has been postponed to August 17. And there is no major competition in Hindi. As such, 'Vishwaroopam-2' is expected to have it easy in Tamil and Hindi.

But it has a major threat in Telugu. It's from 'Srinivasa Kalyanam' (August 9th release), starring Nithiin and Raashi Khanna. For the looks of it, the film is poised to take big openings. Producer Dil Raju is raring to have an ambitious release, especially given the film's genre (family-emotional drama). In all likelihood, this film will take very encouraging openings.

'Vishwaroopam-2' is an actioner. If it has breathtaking visuals and some smart writing, Kamal might well have a winner on hands. But then, the film will have to face the Dil Raju challenge nevertheless.
