Produced by Dil Raju and directed by Vamsi Baidipalli, Vijay is starring in the movie ‘Varisu’. The film will be released in Tamil and Telugu on the eve of Pongal. The delay is due to the announcement that the film will release on Makara Sangranthi under the name ‘Varasudu’ as it is being made in Telugu as well. Since then a new problem has arisen for this film.
As the films of Telugu leading actors are also releasing in Telangana and Andhra on the occasion of Makara Sangranthi, Vijay’s ‘Varasudu’ is facing a problem in allotting theaters. It is believed that if more theaters are allotted to Vijay film, this will affect the collection of films of local actors. As the Telugu Producers Association has instructed theaters to give priority only to direct Telugu films, the question has arisen whether Vijay’s film will be released on Makara Sangranthi or postponed.
Naam Tamilar Party convener Seeman had condemned the protest against Vijay’s ‘Varisu’ in the Telugu film industry. In this case, while speaking at the teaser launch of the film ‘Thudikkum Karalangal’ at the Director’s Association in Virugambakkam, directors Lingusamy, Prameradu and others have expressed their displeasure with the decision of the Telugu producers.
Director Prameadu said, “Thunivu, Warisu movie is coming to Pongal. But they refuse to release it in Telugu for Pongal. Tamil Nadu does not have such divisions. Films like ‘KGF’, ‘Baahubali’ ran on festival days in Tamil Nadu and were successful. After celebrating ‘Ponni’s Wealth’, we did not fail to celebrate the success of ‘Gandhara’. Only Tamils see Andhra, Malayalis etc. with the feeling of Dravidian, but they separate themselves as Tamils.
So South Indian distributors should intervene in this matter and ask for it. We should give a voice to a Tamil film like ‘Varisu’,” he said.
After the show, director Lingusamy spoke to the media. If ‘Varisu’ doesn’t release for Pongal in Andhra, Telugu cinema in Tamilnadu will be before ‘Varisu’ and after ‘Varisu’ He said.
He also said, “This period is the golden age of cinema. Various films have been released in Tamil and Telugu under the name of Pan India for many periods. The film being screened here is sitting somewhere in a state where the fans ODD. Seen in Such a problem should never arise during a critical period. If you say that the Tamil film should not be released, it cannot be said in words, to that extent it is a problem, it will turn out to be a big thing before and after ‘Varisu’.
Very good people in both places. They should talk and take a smooth decision for this. Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali’ and ‘RRR’ are going big in Tamil Nadu. Films shot in Tamil Nadu are becoming huge hits there. So many films of director Shankar have released in Andhra Pradesh, if anyone had a narrow minded thinking, that thought should be changed immediately.
Whoever it is, cinema will change before and after ‘Varisu’ if it is not changed. Everyone should intervene and release the film. It is a film made by a Telugu producer, it should not be an issue. It’s a little fuss. It will go away as soon as possible. If they do not withdraw, we will stop and do all the things related to the matter,” Lingusamy warned.
Meanwhile, former minister Kadampur S. Raju has accused that Udhayanidhi’s Red Giant company is indirectly blocking the release of the film ‘Varisu’ starring actor Vijay. While speaking to the media at Kadampur.C.Raju at Kovilpatti, “There is a situation where the film will be released only if it is through Red Giant. The film industry is furious because of this.
Although it costs more to film, the output level is only available if it comes through Redgiant. This is also the case with the movie ‘Varisu’. If this situation continues, only Red Giant will be able to make the film. The film industry is heading towards extinctionHe said.
The controversy over the release of Vijay’s Varisu in Telugu cinema is becoming a topic of discussion day by day. This is from the Telugu cinema side
