As
the Abhimanyu who got trapped in the Chakra Vyuham,
Vijay seems to be a prisoner of the circumstances.
While yesterday the theatre owners had gone on
record voicing their protest against the losses
suffered by them in Vijay’s latest release,
Aadhi, support for the actor is slowly gaining
momentum. Thennindiya Nadigar Sangam and the Producers’
Council have issued statements in support of Vijay.
Nadigar Sangam secretary and MP Sarath Kumar has
stated that it is quite unfortunate that the theatre
owners have picked up cudgels with one of their
members. The problems faced by the theatre owners
are commercial in nature and Vijay was in no way
involved with the commercial aspects of the film.
They should have approached the concerned parties
and sorted out the difficulties. Instead of doing
so, adopting hardline attitude and threatening
boycott are not advisable. It would place Vijay
in a lot of anxiety and interfere in his work.
Similarly, Mr. Azhagappan of the Producers’
Council has given a detailed account of the events
related to the release of Aadhi. |

He
said that on the day of the pooja itself it
was announced that the film would be ready
only in February and the film had been sold
on outright basis on the same day. But as
the theatre owners felt that a Pongal release
would improve collections, the producer had
speeded up and got the film ready. Due to
a last minute technical glitch, the release
was delayed by a day. Even then, the producer
had made advertisements and promos to announce
the release on January 15. Besides, the theatre
owners had to approach the distributor as
the producer had done all that was needed.
Hence, the recent outpouring of discontent
would set a wrong precedent as this could
be repeated in the case of films of other
heroes. Those who gain with a hit should be
magnanimous to bear the losses as well. A
frank discussion would settle the issue amicably
and hence all the parties should come to the
negotiating table. |
