Sasikala buys Vedhalam outright
Posted in Tamil Nadu By Ayyappa Prasad On November 3, 2015

Chennai, Nov 3(tamilnaducentral): Sasikala owned Jazz Cinemas has bought the Tamil Nadu distribution rights of Vedhalam. Vedhalam starring Ajith and Shruthi Haasan- Lakshmi Menon is directed by Siva. It is produced by A M Rathinam. Censored with a U certificate, Vedhalam is scheduled for Nov 10th release.

As per the earlier trade reports, Vedhalam was bought by Jazz Cinemas for the Chennai city area distribution rights. Coimbatore area was bought by Sarvam Cinemas, NSC by Pandi Suresh, TT by Subbaiah, Salem by 7G cinemas Siva and Nellai- Kanyakumari by Sekar. Now, in an overnight deal the entire Tamil Nadu distribution rights has been bought by Jazz Cinemas. In short, all the other area distributors will have to deal with Jazz Cinemas.

Jazz Cinemas is a company that is owned by Sasikala relatives and it has been proved through various documents. Jazz acquired the 11 screen multiplex Luxe in Velachery from SPI Cinemas that own Satyam and Escape multiplex.

Vedhalam is getting dubbed as Aavesham in Telugu and getting a release in Andhra, a first for Ajith in eight years. Rathinam who has a clout in Andhra has made this possible. The acquisition of Vedhalam by Jazz Cinemas also ensures that Tamil Nadu entertainment tax will be exempted and thereby a 30% saving for the distributor. Puli was not exempted from ET because the committee cited violence against kids and women. The film had a U certificate, a requisite for seeking ET exemption.

Oh, the drama! i'm not looking forward to "in your face" comments but isn't this simple demand vs supply.
please keep your hissy-fits coming, guys! Your excellent sense of perspective is really showing me up for the how uninformed people we are.
