Ghilli, starring ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay and Trisha Krishnan, rocked the cinemas back in 2004, becoming a superhit. It’s actually a remake of Mahesh Babu’s super hit movie Okkadu from 2003. Fans just couldn’t get enough of its tunes, action, and storyline, making it a total fan favorite with good wibe.
Now, to honor this gem of film, lovely fans are bringing it back to the big master screen. And fans, did they show up! The advance bookings were through the roof, and on the first day alone, Ghilli pocketed a cool INR 8 crore! That’s a solid record for re releases, mind you. But the frenzy didn’t stop there. The movie kept pulling in the huge crowds, crossing the INR 20 crore mark in no time. This is the biggest ever record
This re-release shatters all previous records for Indian cinema. And here’s the kicker: Vijay is saying goodbye to acting to dive into politics. Yep, you read that right. So, these screenings mark the final hurrah for his acting career. But fear not, folks, he’s not done just yet. Next up, he’s starring in Venkat Prabhu’s sci-fi action thriller, The Greatest of All Time.
