Theatre Owners Prefer Jilla-Veeram To Kochadaiiyaan

The powerful theatre owners in Tamil Nadu have once again displayed their strength by forcing the movie bosses of Kochadaiiyaan to postpone its release to accommodate trouble-free releases of Vijay's Jilla and Ajith Kumar's Veeram. Without any options, the makers of Rajinikanth's flick had to push the release, which was supposed to release for Pongal.

This development has paved way for mother of all battles, as Vijay and Ajith Kumar's movies will clash at the Box Office. Jilla and Veeram will now hit the screens for Pongal and these films will equally share the cine screens in the state. This has come as a big relief for the both the films because the Rajinikanth's Kochadaiiyaan would have played a spoilsport.
