Superstar's Kochdaiiyaan release in Trouble ?

Will Superstar's Magnum opus Kochadaiyaan indeed hit the screens on May 9 ? Well there are numerous rumors emerging that there is a form of difference of opinion between its producers and distributors regarding the unsettled dues which sources say amounts to several crores.

According to a source reported by Times of India, "Adding fuel to fire was the sudden decision of the makers to stop the release of ads announcing the film's release. All this led to speculation on whether the film would release as originally promised." The film's makers had only recently officially announced that the film would release on May 9 this year. 

Sources said that Murali Manohar had been holding talks with distributors to resolve the issue and that a meeting was held in this regard on Tuesday. Neither Murali Manohar nor the film's director Soundarya could be reached for their comments.

However, Jayakumar, Secretary of the TN Film Distributors Association, trashed the rumours. He said, "Normally, when a big film is to release, there are discussions on percentages, tickets rates and so on. That is what has been happening in this case. The advertisements will be released from tomorrow. Already, tax exemption has been granted to the film. Everything has been sorted out and the film is all set to release as per schedule."
