Shibu Thameens is very close to Vijay and SAC...all the vijay movies have been ditributed by him in kerala... Heard that insted of the salary the kerala rights were given to Mohanlal's ditribution company Maxlab...so Thameens didnt kerala rights.. so Vijay must have asked the producers to give him the chennai rights... and also Thameens distirbuted Krish3 in TN and Kerala..
