Despite some negativity surrounding its music album, The Greatest of All Time continues to hold the title of one of the most anticipated films in Tamil cinema history. The buzz is palpable, and it’s reflected in the filmmakers’ strategic moves to dominate the box office. They have secured over 1,000 screens in Tamil Nadu alone for the film’s release , a move that ensures it will have an unchallenged run, starting on September 5. 

This kind of pre-release hype is no small feat, and it speaks volumes about the star power of Vijay and the expectations surrounding the movie. The ensemble cast, featuring industry heavyweights like Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Ajmal Ameer, and more, only adds to the film's appeal. 

Adding to the grandeur of The Greatest of All Time is its status as the most expensive film in director Venkat's career. The filmmakers have gone all out, collaborating with leading Hollywood studios to deliver top-notch VFX, which is set to be one of the film’s standout features. The de-ageing effects used on Vijay’s character, as teased in the trailer, have already become a talking point and are expected to be a visual treat for fans.
