Vijay
TV
has
emerged
victorious
again!
The
television
channel,
which
bagged
satellite
rights
of
Vijay's
Nanban
earlier
this
year,
has
acquired
the
TV
rights
of
Ilayathalapathy's
upcoming
movie
Thuppakki
directed
by
AR
Murugadoss.
The
TV
channel
successfully
won
the
bidding
by
quoting
an
undisclosed
fancy
price.
There
were
a
lot
of
competition
for
the
satellite
rights,
as
Vijay's
movies
often
fetch
good
TRPs
(Target
Rating
Point).
It
may
be
recalled
that
his
recent
movie
Nanban,
which
was
acquired
by
Vijay
TV,
got
a
record-breaking
11.1
TRPs.
Meanwhile,
Vijay
TV
is
planning
to
air
a
special
programme
on
Thuppakki,
which
features
Vijay
and
Kajal
Aggarwal
in
the
leads.
Earlier,
the
channel
had
produced
'Friend
Ah
Pola
Yaaru?'
for
Nanban.
However,
Thuppakki
title
issue
has
been
adjourned
to
August
14.
The
suit
came
up
for
hearing
on
Tuesday
(07.08.2012)
before
the
court
on
the
petition
filed
by
Ravi
Devan,
who
alleged
that
the
title
and
logo
of
the
Vijay
starrer
movie
share
resemblances
to
his
movie
Kallathuppakki.
