Director-actor
Cheran said that Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya was
a not a crowd-puller during the first week of
its release. Speaking at the audio launch of
Virundaali, Cheran said that Gautham Menon was
concerned that VTV would be thrown out of the
theatres with not enough crowds pouring in during
the first week. However, word of mouth from
the audience had pushed the film to an astounding
success. Cheran rued that if theatre owners
decide to pack off a film within a short time,
then it is the filmmakers who would suffer.
He added that movie buffs will also miss a chance
to see these films in theaters and opt for DVDs.
Reacting to this, the Producers’ Council
president Rama Narayanan said that plans are
afoot to form a commission to discuss such issues. |
