The latest on Bejoy Nambiar's Tamil version of 'David' which was initially scheduled to hit the screens on February 1st is now being pushed to February 8th. 

Mani Ratnam much awaited forthcoming release Kadal recently brushed past the critical eyes of the censor board with a spotless U certificate.

Following which the director is making sure to book the major theatres in the state preceding its release. A close source mentions, “In all probability the movie will release this February 1st.” In addition, featuring a chartbusting album by Isapuyal AR Rahman and cinematographer Rajiv Menon behind the lens, fans eagerly look forward to another blockbuster from the inimitable trio.

Meanwhile, closing in on the competition simultaneuosly is Mani’s own past assistant and director Bejoy Nambiar. He plans to release the Vikram and Jiiva starrer David on the same day . On good advice, industry insiders remarked it would be tactful to postpone the release of David to a much further date as competition will be heavy at the box office and a scarcity of theatres will affect the proceedings.

With Vishwaroopam releasing on January 25th across five hundred plus screens and Kadal basking in a majority of screens in Tamil Nadu, David may have to face the brunt of the move eventually. However, nothing has been officially confirmed from the David camp yet.
