Lady Director Indirectly Hits Out At Vijay’s Fans

While Telugu audiences are enjoying the much-hyped Sankranti festival because of the release of big movies, Kollywood fans are feeling disappointed because of many controversies around Tamil films during the Pongal season.

All three films faced legal issues and problems before they could be shown.

 It was shocking that Thalapathy Vijay’s highly anticipated farewell movie, *Jana Nayagan*, got postponed indefinitely. *Parashakti*, starring Sivakarthikeyan, finally came out on time after some issues with the censor board. However, the film only received mixed reviews from both critics and moviegoers.

Interestingly, the team behind *Parashakti* has been saying that some fans are spreading bad things about the film on purpose to hurt its performance.

 They accused Vijay’s fans of launching an online smear campaign, giving biased ratings on platforms like BookMyShow and others.

Now, *Parashakti* director Sudha Kongara Prasad has indirectly criticized Vijay’s fans for trying to harm the film.

 In her recent interview, she said that some people are using fake identities to attack the film and spread false information.

She also mentioned several threatening messages on social media that were directed at the makers of *Parashakti*.

 She openly said that these attacks are not from political groups but from Vijay’s fans, whose film didn’t come out during the festival. She also expressed her disappointment about dealing with rowdy and violent behavior.

*Parashakti* released in theatres on January 10.

 The film had a lot of issues with the censor board right up until the last moment and got a U/A certificate with 25 changes just one day before its planned release.

Fresh Troubles for Annagaru Ahead of Pongal Release?

The much-anticipated Pongal week in Kollywood is turning out to be a bad time for films.

 Thalapathy Vijay's eagerly awaited movie Jana Nayagan had to be delayed due to legal issues, and Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi received mixed reviews.

Just as it seemed like everything was set for Tamil actor Karthi's long-awaited cop movie Vaa Vaathiyaar (Annagaru Vostaru in Telugu) to release on January 14, new legal problems have come up according to the latest news from Kollywood.

According to reports, a company based in Karur named Dhanesh Associates has filed a case in the Madras High Court to stop the release of the movie in both Tamil and Telugu.

 The court will hear the case on Monday, and the decision will determine if the film can come out on schedule.

If the movie is delayed again, it will miss a chance to take advantage of the empty festival season after Jana Nayagan was postponed and Parasakthi did not do well.

Vaa Vaathiyaar was originally meant to come out on December 12 last year.

 However, it couldn't be released because the Official Assignee of the High Court filed a petition asking K.E. Gnanavel Raja, the producer, to pay a debt of ₹21.78 crore.

The issue is about the money that the producer, KE Gnanavel Raja, owes to a businessman named Arjunlal Sunderdas, who was later declared insolvent.

After a long delay and many discussions, Studio Green finally got permission from the court to release the film.

 But the new legal case has now created more uncertainty about whether the film will come out on January 14. If the production company can quickly resolve the problem, the film might be shown on time, but if not, it might get delayed again.

Directed by Nalan Kumarasamy, 'Vaa Vaathiyaar' features Karthi as a policeman who goes to great lengths to follow the principles set by the late superstar and former Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran.

 The film also has Krithi Shetty in a key role.
