This article is currently titled "The Greatest of All Time (upcoming film)". I see no reason for disambiguation with "(upcoming film)" as there is no article at "The Greatest of All Time". Is there any reason this should not be moved to use that title? — Archer (t·c) 20:49, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just move it. Kailash29792 (talk) 02:03, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

no since any random Wikipedia viewr might think it might be a designation to something else. Its better if the (upcoming film) part is kept there. I do see the point you are trying to make though. Spyderkavin (talk) 02:08, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Movie Location

The movie's filming location is Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala. The other Indian city locations are given as Chennai & Hyderabad. Not Tamil Nadu and Telangana. Kerala is a big state with a lot of cities. So giving a specific location like Chennai or Hyderabad is far better than writing just the name of the state. So why are some people reverting it to Kerala?

Vijay Visiting Thiruvananthapuram for the shoot actually made a lot of headlines as you can see.

So the location should be the city name AG47 ^Talk 10:23, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Science fiction film?

Should we even use that in the lead? Considering the film shows no hint of sci-fi except the mid-credits scene. Espenthordsen what do u say? Kailash29792 (talk) 14:15, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Venkat Prabhu said that there are a few science fiction elements in the film, but not very much, which kind of means that he does not declare the film as a complete science fiction film. X Espenthordsen (talk) 14:44, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone check this edit, a user altered the title of News18 article (though this article calls it a "science fiction project.") and BBFC quote. Sid95Q (talk) 06:03, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen the film but based on the plot here, cloning is not a key element of the film's main story. This roughly makes about a percent or two of the runtime, unlike Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which reveals its cloning aspect just before the intermission and then also aggressively makes it the film's key focus. The present source on the Wiki attached to the lead seems to be before anyone has watched it, which tends to be a case many a times. 77Survivor (talk) 07:44, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sci fi element is a spoiler and is restricted only to the mid-credits scene. Read here and come to a decision. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:33, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't think that makes it a sci-fi in any way. There's a reason the Indiana Jones films are called action-adventure rather than fantasy since they usually deploys the fantasy element (also a spoiler) towards the END instead of throughout majority of the runtime. So I think we shouldn't list GOAT as a sci-fi. It was rumored to be sci-fi, but that has been the case for many movies in the past. They are rumored to be something and turn out to be something else. The SF tag would suit the sequel, not this film. Either the action tag would suit or action-thriller. Sci-fi is not a major driving force of this film's plot, I conclude. 77Survivor (talk) 15:48, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For that reason me and Espenthordsen have decided to simply classify it as an action thriller in the lead. Only V' vasodere continues to write it is sci fi in the lead. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:58, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The editor's (V' vasodere) common rational is "fighting against a clone"; my thought is if it was revealed earlier in the film, it would be considerable, but it was mid-credits. Also, by the end of the film most of the in-film characters don't even know about the cloning thing so, that's for the sequel to come. This movie is no Science fiction.

Starring credits

Not everyone is 'starring'. There's a difference between the cast and the starring roles. Currently, the lead section follows the credits shown in the trailer description. However, the film itself is the source for its credits. Now that the film has been released, the trailer credits are no longer relevant and have been proven inaccurate. The actors credited as starring are clearly listed in the film's closing credits. Why are you still relying on trailer? I have updated them to match the on-screen credits.
