Ilayathalapathy Vijay's 'Bairavaa' is fast nearing completion and the team lead by director Bharathan is marching ahead to meet the Pongal 2017 release target.

Earlier it was expected that the first look and teaser of the film will be released for Diwali 2016. But the makers surprised everyone by revealing the first look and title well before on the occasion of Vinayakar Chathurthi festival in the first week of September.

Now what we learn is that Vijay fans will still have a Diwali 2016 treat which will be bigger than what was expected earlier. Sources reveal that the 'Bairavaa' team is planning to release the teaser during the grand Festival of lights which falls on October 30.

It is also reliably learnt that the audio release may happen by the end of this year. Santhosh Narayanan is rendering the musical score for this film.

If this happens to be true, there cannot be a bigger Diwali gift this from Vijay for his fans. We will have to wait for an official confirmation.

'Bairavaa' directed by Bharathan of 'Azhagiya Tamil Magan' fame stars Vijay and Keerthy Suresh in lead roles. The film is being produced by the prestigious Vijaya Productions banner.
