Thalaivaa August 20 Release in Tamil Nadu :
Official

Tags: Thalaivaa
Ilayathalapathy Vijay can finally breathe a sigh
of relief. Surmounting many barriers and
difficulties, his 70-Crore mega project
Thalaivaa, will finally release in his own home
state Tamil Nadu on Tuesday (August 20),
announced Vendhar Movies.
The film has been given a nod to release, after
the film makers have agreed to remove the tag
line ‘Time to Lead”.
Vendhar Movies, the film’s distributors in the
state, tweeted on their page, “Thalaivaa finally
releasing on Tuesday”.
The advance bookings are expected to begin
tomorrow and all the major multiplexes may
be expected to allot Thalaivaa their best
screens.
Yet there is no clarity on how the film secured
green signal for being released from the
theatre owners. There is no information yet on
what deal the film makers did in the
background to secure the release.
‘Thalaivaa’, which was scheduled to release on
August 9, was stalled in Tamil Nadu and
Puducherry, following a student group issued
bomb threats to theatre owners and the police
were non-commital on providing security to
theatres.
Vijay’s clarification that it’s not a political film
didn’t help in anyway and the film remained
stalled, even after a week of it’s release world
wide,.
Later Chandra Prakash Jain, producer of the
film requested the intervention of Tamil Nadu
Chief Minister J Jayalalitha to help the film’s
release in TN and Pudhucherry. He and the
film crew sought an appointment with the CM,
but the appointment was never granted.
Frustrated over the long delay in the release,
the entire cast and crew of the film decided to
go on a hunger strike. However the Chennai
police commissioner denied the permission for
it.
Meanwhile, producer J Anbazhagan(DMK) of
Anbu Pictures had earlier on Friday, made an
offer to help releasing the film in 300 theatres
across the state at his own risks.
Against this backdrop, Vendhar Movies on
Saturday night, tweeted that the film would
finally hit the screens on Tuesday.
Inspite of the release, the non-availability of
theatres will surely going to be another hitch
for Thalaivaa, with the couple of last minute
releases, 555 and Aadhalaal Kadhal Seiveer,
doing pretty well in all theaters, and upcoming
Desingu Raja capturing around 300 theatres.
More over, it would be tough for the Thalaivaa
team to look forward to a blockbuster
experience, with a mid week release date and a
dragging second half.
