'Lucky Baskhar' to avoid clash with Vijay's next
The revised release date of Lucky Baskhar also suggests that the makers are trying to avoid a box office clash with Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming film The Greatest Of All Time (GOAT), probably his last before entering politics.
It is scheduled for release on September 5.
The film is directed by Venky Alturi and is expected to be a financial thriller drama set in the 1980s.
