Diwali- 2008 is hardly a month away, but the trade is unsure of what film will release for the festival of lights. A few weeks back the producers of Aegan, Abhiyum Njaanum, Guru Enn Aalu, Njaan Kadavul, Seval, Silambattam, Vaaranam Aayiram, confirmed that they are targeting a Diwali release.
But as of now (Sep 26), only Ayngaran International has confirmed booking for Ajit's Aegan and Bharath's Seval with theatres across the world. KRG producer of Guru Enn Aalu has said that he will be confirming the theatres by Monday, after the film's audio launch.
It looks almost certain that Njaan Kadavul will not make it for Diwali as negotiations between Zee TV, Pyramid Saimira the original producers and producer director Bala is yet to reach the final settlement.
Abhiyum Njaanum has got confirmed booking only at Sathyam Cinemas (maximum two shows in small screen) and Inox, while in rest of Tamilnadu nobody has dates for the film!
The producers of Silambattam are yet to confirm a Diwali release though Simbu is pressing them to release the film on his lucky date. The biggest setback has been for Vaaranam Aayiram, as producer Aascar Ravichandran and the film's Tamilnadu distributor Gemni Film Circuit, are yet to sort out their differences.
Meanwhile Ayngaran has got all the prime screens in Tamilnadu and overseas to screen their Aegan and Seval for Diwali. For example Sathyam Cinemas big screen has signed up to screen Aegan four shows, and the smaller Shantham will screen two shows of Seval for Diwali. In smaller stations too both these films have got prime theatres.
Theatres across the world are willing to roll out the red carpet for Ayngaran International, as they have Rajinikanth's Enthiren and Vijay's Villu and half a dozen other films lined up for next year!
