Court’s conditions for ‘Kavalan’

The Madras High Court on Tuesday allowed the release of ‘Kavalan’, the Vijay starrer, on the condition that the producer and director of the film furnish a security for Rs 1.88 crore towards the suit filed by a private finance company claiming copyrights

.

Disposing of the application filed by Sri Gokulam Chit and Finance Company Pvt Ltd, Justice V Ramasubramanian said, “I am of the view that K I Siddique (director) and Romesh Babu of Ekaveera Creations (producer) should be directed to furnish a security of Rs 1.88 crore.”

“The plaintiff not only has a prima facie case”, the Judge said and added that the balance of convenience (the determining of whether or not an action should be taken) is also in its favour.

Justice Ramasubramanian said allowing Ekaveera Creations to release the film would take care of his interests. Simultaneously, directing him to furnish security for the suit claim would take care of the interests of Sree Gokulam Chit also.

A remake of Malayalam hit ‘Bodyguard’, ‘Kavalan’, which is the 51st film of Vijay, has Asin and Vadivelu in pivotal roles. The movie has music by Vidyasagar. ‘Kavalan’ is scheduled for Pongal release.

‘Kavalan’ will release smoothly

The Madras High Court has lifted the stay put on the release of ‘Kavalan’ responding to a case filed by J K Saravanan, proprietor of Tantra films from Singapore.
 
In his petition J K Saravanan had alleged that producer Romesh Babu had promised overseas rights of the film to him for Rs five crore and took Rs 1.5 crore as advance but later sold the rights to Cinema Paradise instead of Tantra Films.
 
Justice Rajeshwar who heard the case on Friday examined J K Saravanan after which he vacated the stay. As per the judgment, Shakthi Chidambaram and Romesh Babu have struck a compromise with J K Saravanan by giving him the colour lab contract.
 
Shakthi Chidambaran who has got the sole rights of the film has said, "The ban on ‘Kavalan’ has been lifted and so the film will release worldwide by December end without any hurdle."
 
The audio launch of ‘Kavalan’ film will happen in the first of December and later the move will release worldwide with over 1000 prints.

SIDDIQUE ON TWEAKING BODYGUARD FOR VIJAY

Director Siddique, who had directed the Malayalam film Bodyguard with Dileep and Nayan in the lead roles, is remaking the film in Tamil under the title Kavalan. For the Tamil version he had roped in Vijay and Asin and the film is almost nearing completion.

Speaking about Kavalan, the director said that he had made adequate changes to the original script to ensure that the role befitted Vijay. Siddique pointed out that Vijay had a different target audience and hence certain changes to the script became inevitable.

Likewise, he added, Dileep will not fit in Vijay’s role in Kavalan. Both Bodyguard and Kavalan have been made for the respective actors he said.

Asin under police protection

The ‘Kavalan’ press meet yesterday was on render hooks till the end because of Asin who is still not taking any chances. Instructions were given to the media person not to ask controversial questions to Asin and particularly no questions on her Srilankan visit. Even Vijay evaded questions about the anti-Asin sentiments among many Tamil organizations.

Even the director was not interested to talk about Asin controversy. Siddique said his job is to complete the movie the right way and what happens at the time of release is a later problem.

People who had been at the meet said Asin was under police protection until she stepped into her car after the event. Many senior journalists boycotted the press meet sources said.

Vijay as police officer in Sargunam film

'Kalavani' director Sargunam is busy finalising his script for Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay. Vijay had approved Sargunam's one line plot last month and agreed to do the film. We had reported that.

In Sargunam's script, Vijay will be seen as a police office for the entire film unlike ‘Pokkiri’ in which he worn the uniform only in the final scenes.

Vijay already has a handful but managed to squeeze in Sargunam also owing to its great script they say. Vijay after 'Kavalan' will finish 'Velayudham'. Then he has the Shankar directed '3 Idiots' remake and Seeman's explosive 'Pagalavan'. He is expected to come to Sargunam after finishing all these.
