Ajith’s
Varalaru – will it overcome the
‘Trichy trouble’?

Controversies
and ‘Varalaaru’ seem to be
inseparable. Though this may sound clichéd,
nobody can deny the fact that the movie
has seen innumerable turmoil. When finally
it looks as if the decks are cleared for
the movie’s release, it got stuck
into another imbroglio of controversy.
The movie which has been lying in the
cans for close to two years is now confronted
with a financial crisis.
The
grapevine in the industry suggests
that a Trichy based financier is yet
to get his full settlement from the
makers of the movie. Sources aver
that the financier, who is also a
big time distributor, has pumped in
a massive amount. He has not been
settled with his interest amount,
let alone the principal.
This is a major bottleneck for the
release of the movie in Trichy district,
since the producer NIC Arts Chakravarthy
had already settled enough problems
and disputes initially after his tussle
with Ajith. Whether this controversy
manages to create the much-needed
mileage, is difficult to envisage
now.
However,
the brighter side of the story is that
the producers and distributors are unanimous
in their desire to release the film positively
for this Diwali. Hence it appears that
Varalaru would come out of all this teething
disturbances to emerge victorious in Diwali
releases.
But the rumours are agog that, creating
sensationalism before the release of the
movie has become the order of the day.
With about seven movies due for Diwali
release a strong dosage of media publicity
would do wonders for the movie. Whether
this is jus a faux pas or a real crisis,
one certainly hopes that the movie releases
this time around and has a good run!!
