Initially, the government refused to allow early special shows but later paved the way to issue a stipulation that the theatres will charge a fee set by the government.
Vijay who is known as Thalapathy to Tamil fans continues his winning streak with the film at the box-office. Incidentally, this is his third release with Atlee after Theri and Mersal.
While both of his earlier films emerged as blockbusters, Vijay's fans hope that Bigil will also repeat the box-office feat.
Bigil is a sports action film that has Vijay in dual roles as father and son.
As the father, he plays a local don and as the son, he is the coach of a women's football team. The actor underwent training for the coach's character.
