Ilayathalapathy Vijay's 'Bairavaa' has been received with great response, surpassing the opening day numbers of Vijay's 'Theri'. Despite opening to mixed reviews from critics and fans, the action entertainer that released on January 12, witnessed a 90 per cent occupancy across the state.
If early figures are to be believed, 'Bairavaa' will most likely rake in £150,000 on its opening day and is expected beat the records of Ajith Kumar's 'Vedalam'. It is worth noting that 'Theri' became the second-highest grossing Tamil film after Thalaivar Rajinikanth's 'Kabali'. Question is, will Ilayathalapathy Vijay cross the mark? In the overseas market, 'Bairavaa' is touted to be his third best opening after 'Kaththi' and 'Theri'. Reports also suggest that the film had made a business of £10 million through its distribution and theatrical rights.
Overseas distributor A&P Group confirmed the film's release in 55 countries. 'Bairavaa' will also release in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia, among others. Directed by Bharathan, the movie also stars Keerthy Suresh, Sathish, Daniel Balaji and Jagapathi Babu in important roles.
