February 18, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): With around 24 films being released within last 50 days, the distributors are completely perplexed in releasing their upcoming films. Earlier, Lingusamy’s ‘Paiyya’ was supposed to hit screens on February 12 along with Gowtham’s ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’. But unfortunately, the complete scheduling was changed as Sun Pictures released ‘Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai’ on that Friday.
Apparently, Ajith Kumar starrer ‘ASAL’ was preponed to February 5 merely because of this sudden change. Since, Venkat Prabhu’s ‘Goa’, Shiva starrer ‘Thamizh Padam’, ‘TVP’ and ‘ASAL’ are considerably doing moderate business at box office, theatre owners have decided not to release any films tomorrow (Feb 19).
Next Friday (Feb 26) will have ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’ hitting screens and Jeeva starrer ‘Katcheri Arambam’ that was slated on the same day release schedule has been postponed to March 6 along with Bharath’s ‘Thambikku Indha Ooru’ and Moser Baer’s ‘Aval Peyar Thamizharasi’.
With no options left, Karthi-Thamannah starrer ‘Paiyya’ is likely expected to get release somewhere in mid-of-March.
