It would be worth remembering that the group
had acquired, FunAsia, one of the largest Indian
cinema chains in the US.
With this, Pyramid Saimira group in addition
to acquiring rights across majority of regions
in Tamil Nadu, also has bagged rights for entire
USA. The price is yet to be disclosed. The overseas
rights for the movie was held by Aygaran International.
With trade almost finalized in Malaysia too,
the movie now looks all set to hit the theatres
on December 14th. “The deal finally getting
closed, I think Ajith fans can heave a big sigh
of relief. If everything goes well, the boxes
with prints should be shipped from India to US,
by the coming Tuesday”, said an exhibitor.
He further points out, “I am pretty confident
of the movie doing good business. The promos have
captured the people’s imagination. Billa,
is of course a brand on its own and the curiosity
to see the value Ajith would add to it is definitely
there”.
There is also a buzz that the movie will be censored
pretty soon, positively on Saturday. It is also
being planned to be screened for few select VIPs.
Ajith, the actor himself is said to have seen
the entire length and reportedly had expressed
his satisfaction to Vishnu.
With the high profile meeting on Friday evening
doing the trick, Ajith fans, can get ready for
the Billa ride!
