Vijay's upcoming film with 'Kaththi' being directed by A.R.Murugadoss, is gearing up for a grand release at Diwali this year, alongside Vishal's Poojai and Shah Rukh Khan's Happy New Year. Most of the areas are already sold both in India and overseas.

Kaththi’s co-producers Ayngaran who are pioneers in Tamil movie distribution in UK and rest of Europe have confirmed Kaththi will have a record number of overseas screens .

Just like the usual traditions of a Vijay film release in Tamilnadu, Kerala is no less when it comes to all the hoopla and fan fare for a Vijay starrer. Since the Ghilli days, Vijay has had proper, hardcore fan clubs in Kerala.

With Jilla, which also had the Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal, having a really wide release in Kerala, now Kaththi is also reportedly set for a record breaking 200 plus screens in 'God's Own Country'.

In a place like Kochi, Kaththi is going to carpet bomb, with a record 7 to 10 screens. With the number of screens going through the roof, one can certainly expect a huge opening for the movie all over.

Kaththi's Kerala distributor Thameens Release is dealing with the logistics to make sure that Kaththi gets a truly big opening. They have even come out with attractive Malayalam posters for Kaththi.

Meanwhile, the dubbed version of the film in Telugu is to be releasing at the same time in Andhra and Telengana.
