Cheran�s `TT` in trouble

Cheran�s Thavamai Thavamirundhai (`TT`) touted earlier as a sure release for Diwali, is unlikely to make it to the theatres! This has caused heartburns in the trade and theatres that had booked the film are now running helter-skelter looking for alternative Diwali attraction as Cheran is desperately trying to sort out the issues.

Cheran had originally planned Thavamai Thavamirundhai for producer Muruganandan who produces film under the name of his father S.Krishnakanth and had done films like Manmathan. Though this Simbu film was hit, the film had released on deficit due to its high cost of production.

Cheran and Murugananan had difference of opinion and later Arulmozhi, a rich industrialist was roped in as the new producer. Being new to film business, Arulmozhi settled Muruganandan without getting a clearance letter from distributors who had advanced money for Thavamai Thavamirundhai.

Now the film ready for release, is facing trouble from distributors who had advanced money to Muruganandan and is demanding compensation. A furious Arulmozhi without consulting the producer�s council or distributors association went to court and sued Muruganandan, creating further tension.

Poor Cheran for no fault of his, is now running from pillar to post trying to settle the matter amicably and release his Thavamai Thavamirundhai for Diwali. But with Muruganandan claiming that his money is still blocked in the project; it looks like the film will be delayed.
