Vijay's Mersal to clash with Vikram's Sketch

The release plans of Chiyaan Vikram's upcoming movie Sketch have reportedly gone for a change. If latest reports are to be believed, the Tamil movie will now hit the screens in October.

Reports say that Sketch, which was supposed to release in September, will be released on the occasion of Deepavali. It means that Vikram's flick will be clashing with Vijay Mersal, the release of which was announced long ago.

Over the years, at least two big movies in Kollywood are released on Deepavali. Hence, the latest clash is not expected to hit each others' business. Also, this is not the first time where a Vikram film is locking horns with the Vijay's flick.

Vijay's Thamizhan had clashed with Vikram's Gemini in 2002, Puthiya Geethai with Kadhal Sadugudu (2003), Thirumalai with Pithamagan (2004) and Sivakasi with Maja (2005).
