Chevalier Dr. Kamal Haasanin Mayyam - Part 9

[kumarsr]

you mean distributors are not buying it for the price asked for?

No, not like that. But, issues faced during VR release is not fully sorted out yet. It came up during UV release also. UV release had other financial issues, mainly relating to Lingu.

But consider Papanasam. It is one of the smallest/quickest movie that Kamal has done in the last several years. Even faster than UPO. There were some minor delays when he fell sick etc. But movie was completed in record time.All work completed long time back. Yet, it looks like it is a struggle to release it due to the many past financial issues. Now UV's BO result may be adding to this, who knows. In effect, when something that needs to be completed and released in 4-5 months ends up taking 10 or 12 months, you can imagine what it does to the financial investors. Time is money.

The solution to all this is to make at least 2 movies per year. When one of them becomes a box office hit followed by another, it will resolve all issues. That is precisely what he is trying to do.
