Ayangaran International, holds the overseas rights for the movie.

North American distributors aren’t comfortable with the high price that has been quoted. The starting of the winter has also not gone down well, among the exhibitors too. “Kreedom, though made profits in India, was not a profitable venture for the exhibitors in the US. So there is certainly some apprehension over the price that can be offered for this movie, that too with a harsh winter being predicted”, says an exhibitor, who requested not to be named.

Another exhibitor talking to Behindwoods correspondent said, “I am not sure if we will have enough time for a December 14th release. Agreement has still not been reached. Then there is the danger of not getting the required theatres. I think there has to be some consent made soon in a day or two. And I don’t think the movie will be released in India without a settlement made here.”

There is no official news on the distribution details of the movie in another hot trade sector – Malaysia.
