All Ajith and Vijay fans have enough reasons to cheer. Aalwar and Pokiri are sure to release for Pongal 2007. The stand-off between distributors and producers of these two films over a discount over rates has been amicably settled.
Rama Narayanan, President, Tamil film producers Council (TFPC) said: “All films due for release on Pongal will definitely release as all issues have been sorted out.”

And the issue relating to stars taking a cut on their salary to compensate the producer’s loss has been put on back burner for the time being. Now both sides producers and stars are saying that they want to wait and see how the Pongal films are faring at the box-office.

As Rama Narayanan says: “The issue will be sorted out after the release. If any distributor has to be compensated I am sure that the stars will come to the producers help.”

High hopes! Vijay and his dad SA Chandrasekhar are still refusing to compensate distributors of Aathi their home production which flopped last Pongal!

Meanwhile Ramesh Babu and Mohan Natarajan the producers of Pokiri and Aalwar are trying to maintain status quo. Today (Jan 1, 2007) ‘Oscar’ Ravichandran has issued an ad in all newspapers for Pokiri with the tag line – Oscar Films Release, NSC area!
