Just in: Why is Jigarthanda not releasing as per the plan? Producer reveals

Jigarthanda directed by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by Kathiresan for Five Star Films was scheduled to be released on this Friday, the 25^th of July. However, there was a sudden change this morning (21^st July) and it was reported that the film will not meet its said date and there were widespread speculations on this.

Clarifying on this issue and putting all the rumors to rest, producer Kathiresan issues a statement which states, “Velai Illa Pattathari which was released last week is having a good run at the box office all over Tamil Nadu. Theatre owners feel that this is a victory for theatres. Meanwhile I was to release my production venture Jigarthanda on this Friday, the 25^th July. However, distributors and theatre owners who saw Jigarthanda felt that the film has come up really well and if it got postponed by a week, it would get more theatres and also record huge success at the box office”.

“Hence keeping their views in mind and also wanting my film to garner huge success, I am planning to release Jigarthanda on the 1^st of August. I have taken this decision not bowing to anyone’s demand but only with a singular intention that all those people who bought the film should emerge successful”
