Both Chiyan as well as Thala are contenders to fill theatres out at the turn of the new year. Director Gautam Vasudev Menon's 'Yennai Arindhaal', which is Ajith's 55th flick is up for release for Pongal. After continuous procrastinations for months, owing to technical needs, director Shankar's Vikram starrer magnum opus 'I' has been declared to lock horns with Thala 55 for Pongal 2015. But now we hear that the movies may not release in unison.

While 'Yennai Arindhaal' will hit the screens in the heat of festivities, right on the day of Pongal, 'I' will make its way to the screens even earlier; 'I' will release little ahead, on January 9th. While 'I' music is already out to the merriment of all, the music of 'Yennai Arindhaal' is yet to savor our ears, and is expected to release in the coming weeks. It is worth mentioning that both the flicks occupy prime positions in the list of the most anticipated movies of 2014.
