Pyramid Sai Mira had purchased the distribution
rights of ATM and plans are underway to produce
a huge number of prints. The Move is seen to cater
to its large number of theatres, especially outside
Chennai.
As Behindwoods had already pointed out, the production
company was keen on Ajith's Billa too. Now the
official new is out that they have indeed completed
the deal for an undisclosed amount. The Billa
team was earlier quoted to have put a price tag
of 15 crores for the theatrical rights alone.
The satellite and audio rights are still yet to
be decided.
With most of the theatres almost decided for ATM,
it might be a bit difficult to accommodate Billa,
more so in B and C centers.
Talks are already underway to postpone the release
of Billa 2007 to December. An official release
is still awaited. According to trade analysts,
this might actually work for both the parties.
Vishnuvardhan will also get some extra time to
polish off his final product. Behindwoods, as
usual, will be the first to update you on the
happenings!
