The
entire
film
world
is
stunned
with
the
massive
success
of
superstar
Rajini's
Shivaji.
Many
are
yet
to
recover
from
the
Shivaji
mania.
Many
producers
have
postponed
their
films'
release
to
at
least
3
weeks
after
the
release
of
Shivaji.
Long
queues
can
still
be
seen
in
front
of
many
theaters
in
the
city
where
Shivaji
is
currently
running.
In
the
aftermath
of
the
Shivaji
hurricane,
many
producers
are
hesitant
to
release
their
films,
citing
non-availability
of
theaters
as
the
reason.
But
Praveen
Kanth,
the
director
turned
hero
has
somehow
managed
to
release
his
film
Thullal
in
some
theaters
today.
Praveen
Kant,
the
director
of
films
like
Rakshakan,
Star,
and
Jodi,
is
turning
into
a
hero
with
Thullal,
a
film
about
marriage
and
marital
discord.
The
film
was
in
the
making
for
long,
and
the
producers
had
a
long
drawn
out
battle
with
the
censors
for
depicting
sexy
scenes
of
Mumbai
glamour
dolls
Gurlin
Chopra
and
Sonika.
After
the
press
screening
of
the
film,
director
Praveen
Kanth
met
the
media
at
Andhra
Club.
He
said:
"I'm
proud
to
be
the
first
one
daring
to
come
up
with
a
release
after
the
tumultuous
box-office
response
to
Shivaji.
The
highlight
of
the
film
is
Vivek's
comedy
track
and
composer
Dhina's
music.
I
fought
a
protracted
battle
with
the
censor
board
before
getting
the
certificate.
But
one
will
appreciate
my
rationale
behind
depicting
those
scenes
after
watching
the
film."
