Shankar
is seeing success like never before. He
had a very good 2005 with his Anniyan doing
amazing business. Earlier, in 2004 his production
Kaadhal full of newcomers had become a hit.

This
year it is his production Imsai
Arasan 23rd Pulikesi that has broken
all industry and box office trends
and gone on to become a superhit.
All this success has suddenly givenShankar
anew image. He is now being seen
in industry circles as the man with
the Midas touch. As a result, everyone
wants to be associated with him
and his works. His production house
is currently involved in a film
titled Veyil starring Bharath. The
director of the movie is the little
known guy who had earlier directed
Album that had been a damp squib.
Earlier the film had not been in
all that great demand in trade circles
around the state.

But
after Imsai Arasan, Veyil seems
to have become hot property. Distributors
are falling over each other in an
attempt to get the rights of the
movie. This is just the tip of the
iceberg. Shankar’s directorial
venture, Superstar’s Sivaji
which was already making news for
it’s record prices has just
taken another step up the ratings.
The prices now are reportedly astronomical,
and what more; the distributors
are ready to pay. Theatres in Chennai
like Devi complex that has not released
any major films for quite some time
are too reportedly keenly interested
in the movie.

So
are many others, so much so that it has
become a matter of pride for a distributor
to obtain the movie at any cost.
Shankar must certainly be enjoying this. |
