Actor Vijay’s film ‘Thalaivaa,’ which has been embroiled in a controversy over its delayed release in Tamil Nadu, will hit the screens on Tuesday (August 20) according Vendhar Films, the film’s distributors in the State.

There is no information yet on whether any deal was brokered with any party to secure the release.

No comments

The producers too are unwilling to comment on the issue.

The film’s distributors announced on their Twitter handle late on Saturday that the film would finally hit the screens on Tuesday.

Scheduling conflicts

According to some reports, the distributors tried to get the film released by Sunday itself. However, they could not do it because of scheduling conflicts.

Actor Vijay’s appeal to fans

Actor Vijay, whose film ‘Thalaivaa’ has been delayed for release in the State, on Wednesday appealed to his fans and the public to avoid watching the movie in pirated formats.

He said the entire team was trying to get the film released as soon as possible, and had sought an appointment with Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to seek government help.

The film produced by Sri Mishri Productions has released in rest of the county and across the world on August 7.

In a video message distributed to media outlets,Vijay noted that over the past few days pirated VCDs of the movie had started making their way into the State but his fan clubs and police had curbed the menace to whatever extent was possible.

He claimed that threats from unidentified groups were the main reason for the delay in the release of the film in the State.
