Moreover, it will also give him a temporary advantage over his professional rival Ajith Kumar. If ‘Puli’ too manages to set the cash registers ringing it will go a long way in helping him continue his firm hold on the box office. Add a new dimension to the Ajith-Vijay rivalry: Vijay’s last big screen outing ‘Kaththi’, which arrived in theatres in 2014, proved to be a big hit at the ticket window and earned rave reviews.

Sridevi in a new avatar: It was in 2012 that Sridevi made a successful comeback to the film industry post an eight-year hiatus when she starred in the R Balki-produced ‘English Vinglish’. Moreover, the film‘s grand special effects could go a long in establishing it as a visual treat, enhancing its appeal amongst the younger generation. Interestingly, the clash between good and evil is a tried and tested concept that forms the foundation of numerous fairy tales such as ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’ which are still enjoyed by kids and adults alike.Īs such, ‘Puli’ is a movie that can well and truly be enjoyed by people from all walks of life. A relatable storyline: Judging by the film’s power-packed trailer, ‘Puli’ revolves around the intense rivalry between a cruel queen and a virtuous warrior who tries to end her reign of terror.
