| Now
that Sivaji’s shoots are wrapped
up, it is time to talk business. And
AVM seems to be just doing that. But
not alone, veteran director Muthuraman,
who is incidentally the co-producer
of Sivaji seems to be spearheading
the activities of Sivaji’s business
in Tamil Nadu and overseas, satellite,
and audio rights as well. |

S.P.M has always been a close source of the AVM
stable and it is not surprising that he oversees
Sivaji’s business.
As it has been already debated enough and more,
Sivaji’s regional rights have been sold
out in Andhra and Kerala at eye-popping rates.
News has it that Media moghuls and corporates
are vying for the coveted Tamil Nadu rights. Touted
to reap loads of cash, Sivaji has already raised
the bar among the moviegoers and ardent Rajini
fans alike all over.
Keeping away from the trade activities of Sivaji
are Rajini and Shankar. If you might remember,
Rajini has not received his paycheck for Sivaji.
Which would be decided later based on profit that
Sivaji makes, sources say.
Meanwhile, AVM is busy preparing documents to
submit the tax returns before the end of the financial
year and particularly before Sivaji hits the screens.
The company, as it seems, wants to have perfect
records regarding the movie’s expenses before
it releases so as to avoid any income tax hassles,
reliable sources suggest. Besides, Rajini, Shankar
and A.R.Rahman, as they say, are always under
the watchful eyes of IT radar and submitting proper
returns would only mean hassle free year end.
While Sivaji’s business activities are gearing
up since the movie is set for an April release,
we, as a common man, will wait for the news to
be out as to who has won the meaty deal and hit
the jackpot. Stay tuned as we bring updates. |
