Trade analyst Sreedhar Pillai tweeted about the screen count, which mentioned that both films can expect about 600-700 screens each.

Sreedhar Pillai’s Tweet:

If we look at opening day numbers of the last films of the two stars in Chennai alone, Ajith’s previous film Vivegam had raked in Rs 1.21 crore on the first day while Rajinikanth’s 2.0 made a record at the box office with Rs 2.64 crore collection. Now each star’s film would eat into the other’s collection.

Watch Viswasam’s Trailer:

Rajinikanth’s film has Trisha Krishnan, Simran Bagga, Bobby Simha, Vijay Sethupathi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in pivotal roles. On the other hand, Ajith will be pairing up with Nayanthara after five years in Viswasam. Trailers of both the films went viral on the day they were released. We wonder how both the films are going to fare at the box office. The craze and excitement for both of these films are increasing as the release date inches closer. Petta and Viswasam will also be clashing with NTR Biopic, Kathanayakudu, Ram Charan’s Vineya Vidheya Rama and Varun Tej’s F2 during Pongal.
