Tamil Nadu is also witnessing a surge in demand for the film, with over 1100 out of 1150 screens in the state set to showcase the movie. This extensive release is expected to break previous box office records for Tamil cinema.

While the film is generating lower buzz in the Telugu states, this could shift on the day of release, potentially expanding its success even further. In recent years, Vijay's movies have performed exceedingly well in the Telugu states. With no new Telugu major releases, this film could become a huge draw for theatres there. 

Directed by Venkat Prabhu, The Greatest of All Time is set to hit the screens on September 5.
