Vijay Antony’s Appa Kutty pushed to 6 November for Deepavali
Actor Vijay Antony's upcoming film ‘Appa Kutty’ will now release on 6 November instead of the previously announced 16 October, the makers announced on 10 October. The family drama also stars Lithanya Sivabalan and Preethi Asrani.
The new date pits the film against Suriya's ‘Scene’, also releasing on Deepavali. The makers have not given a reason for the postponement, though Rajinikanth's ‘Jailer 2’ is set for 15 October, a day before the film's original date.
Written and directed by Mu Maran, the film explores the bond between a father and his daughter. Vijay Antony has scored the music and edited the film himself.

The coverage is uniform wire-service style reporting. The key point for readers is that ‘Appa Kutty’ now faces a different competitive landscape on 6 November against Suriya's ‘Scene’.
