Jigarthanda to clash with Vaayai Moodi Pesavum?

Jigarthanda team is planning to pre-pone the release to April 25th. Both print and online media have been of the strong opinion that Rajinikanth’s magnum-opus Kochadaiiyaan will release on May 1st. Producer Kathiresan who earlier finalized to release Jigarthanda on May 1st has backtracked now, we hear. If sources are to be believed, it’s a really good move since Jigarthanda cannot afford to compete with Kochadaiiyaan and  is not a healthy practice as far as trade is concerned.

Jigarthanda, if released on April 25th, will have an inevitable clash with Vaayai Moodi Pesavum. VMP will be distributed by Udhaynidhi Stalin’s Red Giant Movies. Jigarthanda, a musical-gangster drama directed by Karthik Subburaj of Pizza fame and producer Kathiresan of Aadukalam fame, has Siddarth and Lakshmi Menon playing the lead roles. The film has a stellar supporting cast in Bobby Simha, Somasundaram of Aaranya Kaandam fame and Prathap Pothen. Funky tunes by Santhosh Narayanan and the eye-popping first-look teasers have already upped the expectations for this gangster saga.
