August release for Rajini's Endhiran?

The release date of the biggest-ever Rajinikanth film seems to have been finalised. Sources say Sun Pictures has decided to release Endhiran in the third week of August, before Rajini’s daughter Soundarya’s wedding.

As tweeted by ace Bollywood costume stylist Manish Malhotra (who has designed the exclusive clothes for the lead pair) the last song, which was picturised on Rajini and Aishwarya at Sun Studios near ECR, was completed on July 7. Manish reportedly tweeted, “On my way to Chennai again, last costume change for Rajni sir and Ash song shooting gets over on the 7th.”

Shankar has already given the edited version of the film to A.R. Rahman and Resul Pookutty, who are working hard in an all-out effort to complete it. Every attempt is being made to have the highly-anticipated audio release function by the third week of July — it’s scheduled to be held in Malaysia.

Biggies like Kamal’s Manmadha Ambu, Vijay’s Kaaval Kadhal (Kaavalkaran renamed) are slotted for a Diwali release, while there are hardly any big releases in August or September.

This means Endhiran will get a clear 50-day run without any competition. Moreover, with World Cup Cricket scheduled in January and state elections probably being advanced, it is unlikely that any big film will be slotted for a Pongal release.
