Varisu vs Thunivu is being touted as the biggest clash in Tamil cinema in recent times as Vijay and Ajith are locking horns after 8 years, their last clash being Jilla of Vijay's and Veeram of Ajith's. It was a tight clash and Jilla eventually emerged victorious with a strong performance even outside the home state. They have clashed their films a dozen times and while Vijay has dominated 8 times, Ajith has won the clash thrice. There was one clash where both films failed to put up a show, leading to no actual winner in the clash.
Will Pathaan's Telugu Trailer Be Shown Along With Sankranthi Release?:
It is to be known if the Telugu trailer of Pathaan will play alongside Sankranthi releases Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy or not. Just like Vijay and Ajith in Tamil Nadu, Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna command a great fan following in Telugu states and have been entertaining audiences for many years. Even at the age of over 60 years, both actors are able to pull great crowds into theatres and that is unprecedented and something we don't generally see in most other movie industries.

The Telugu trailer was shared by RRR star Ram Charan and his support for the film also went a long way to reach out to the Telugu audiences, who are very receptive to what their star shares or supports.

Salman Khan has an extended cameo in Pathaan, in his avatar of iconic spy, Tiger aka Avinash Singh Rathore. The spy universe then continues with the release of Tiger 3 starring Salman with Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi during the Diwali 2023 weekend.
