Ajith Kumar-starrer action thriller film Thunivu clashed with Thalapathy Vijay-starrer family drama Varisu at the box office.
Headlined by Ajith Kumar, the Tamil actioner Thunivu was released in cinemas on January 11 and is running successfully in theaters worldwide. The film has earned Rs 36.20 crore in its two days of release in its India nett collections and over Rs 50 crore in worldwide gross collections.
Ajith Kumar plays a bank robber in the film, which deals with bank scams and corruption. Apart from the Tamil superstar, Thunivu also stars Manju Warrier, Samuthirakani, John Kokken, and Chirag Jani among others in pivotal roles. The action-packed entertainer is being praised for presenting an entertaining story while delivering a message on greed at the same time.
Thunivu is facing strong competition from Thalapathy Vijay-starrer Varisu, which was also released on the same day as the Ajith Kumar-starrer. Varisu stars Rashmika Mandanna, who made her Bollywood debut last year in Goodbye sharing screen space with Amitabh Bachchan, as the leading lady.
Thunivu is the third straight collaboration between director H Vinoth, the superstar Ajith Kumar, and producer Boney Kapoor after the legal drama Nerkonda Paarvai in 2019 and Valimai in 2022. The former is an official Tamil remake of the Hindi film Pink starring Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu.
Even though the film is running to packed theatres, there is one piece of bad news for the cinephiles as Thunivu has been leaked online. As per reports, the Ajith Kumar-starrer has become the latest victim of piracy as the film is available to download from infamous sites such as Tamilrockers, Telegram, Movierulz, Filmyzilla, Filmywap, 123movies, 123movierulz, and other torrent websites.
This is not the first time, the piracy website has leaked a film or a show. Earlier, films and shows such as Cirkus, Avatar: The Way of Water, Bhediya, Salaam Venky, Drishyam 2, Thank God, Ram Setu, Kantara, Doctor G, Ponniyin Selvan 1, Vikram Vedha, Brahmastra, Liger, Chup, Laal Singh Chadddha, and Raksha Bandhan among others became the target of the piracy sites.
