After nearly three years since his first film Paruthiveeran released, it looks like for Pongal 2010, Karthi will have two of his films releasing the same day.
A few days back producer R Raveendran said his long in the making Selvaraghavan directed Aayirathil Oruvan will release for Pongal. A couple of day’s later producer and director Lingusamy has announced that his Karthi- Tamannaah starrer Paiyya will also release for Pongal!
The trade is totally confused as big people in the industry are backing both the projects. Raveendran feels that his film should get priority as it was started earlier and the delay was due to the graphic work on the film.
However, Lingusamy is within his rights as he completed his film on time and cannot sit on it as his interest amount taken to produce the film mounts. How many times the release of Aayirathil Oruvan has been postponed in the past?
Let us hope that the matter is amicably settled as both the producers of Karthi film are waiting to see who blinks first and withdraws from the Pongal race. Meanwhile the audio of Paiyya which has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja will be released by the end of the month.
