Vikram
is
the
real
hero
of
Tamil
film
industry
at
present.
The
good
hearted
star
has
sacrificed
Rs
1
crore
to
help
the
producer
to
release
Bheema
for
Pongal.
Produced
by
AM
Rathnam,
the
film
has
been
started
two
years
before
in
Lingusamy's
direction
with
Vikram-Trisha
in
the
lead.
At
a
stage,
the
film
seemed
to
be
dropped
due
to
the
financial
crisis
of
Rathnam.
But
somehow
he
managed
the
crisis
and
borrowed
funds
from
various
financiers
to
complete
the
film,
just
because
of
his
strong
faith
on
the
script.
When
he
tried
to
release
the
film
for
last
year
Deepavali,
all
the
creditors
forced
Rathnam
to
release
the
film
only
after
settled
their
debts.
So,
he
approached
the
Tamil
Film
Producers
Council
for
his
rescue.
He
assured
everyone
for
their
loans
and
requested
them
to
help
him
to
release
the
film
for
Pongal,
the
biggest
season
of
Tamil
film
industry.
On
his
assurance,
the
council
asked
most
of
the
financiers
not
to
go
to
the
court.
But
a
Delhi
based
financier
strictly
told
the
council
to
settle
his
account
before
the
film's
release.
Rathnam
repaid
his
loan
with
mortgaged
one
of
his
properties
and
set
everything
perfect
to
release
the
film
for
this
season.
But
he
has
to
pay
Rs
1
crore
15
lakhs
as
the
salary
due
to
the
hero
Vikram
and
Rs
30
lakhs
to
Lingusamy,
the
director
of
the
film.
Knowing
all
the
facts
about
the
producer,
Vikram
sacrificed
the
entire
amount
to
help
the
producer.
He
announced
this
yesterday
and
asked
the
producer
to
take
further
steps
for
the
release.
Director
Lingusamy
also
sacrificed
his
salary
due
Rs
30
lakhs
and
gave
the
letter
on
this
to
the
producer's
council.
Yesterday,
AM
Rathnam
personally
called
on
the
actor
and
thanked
him
for
his
timely
help.
Now,
Bheema
will
hit
the
screens
for
Pongal
with
300
prints.
Rathnam
is
one
among
the
big
producers
in
the
industry.
His
previous
films
Vyjayanthi
IPS,
Indian,
Kushi,
Dhool,
and
Gilli
are
the
Blockbusters
and
have
created
records
in
the
Box
Office.
But
Shankar's
Boys
shattered
the
producer's
career
and
he
lost
Rs.
20
crores
in
this
film
and
almost
became
a
pauper.
To
manage
this,
he
borrowed
funds
and
took
some
films
with
his
sons
Ravi
Krishna
and
Jyothi
Krishna.
But
those
films
also
did
not
turn
well
in
the
Box
Office.
His
last
film
with
Vijayakanth
released
for
2006
Pongal
Dharmapuri
also
caused
for
a
heavy
loss
to
the
producer.
Hope
Bheema
will
check
the
downfall
of
this
good
producer!
