News

By Ramchander
Vijay's
Jilla
and
Ajith
Kumar's
Veeram
have
been
declared
as
hits
by
industry
and
the
fans'
of
the
actors.
But
here
comes
the
news,
which
will
shock
the
audience.
Producer
Keyar
has
declared
both
the
films
as
flops
as
distributors
have
suffered
huge
losses.
Jilla
and
Veeram
were
released
for
Pongal
on
January
10.
The
films,
despite
getting
mixed
reviews,
had
impressed
audience.
Indeed,
the
movie
bosses
of
the
films
had
claimed
that
they
were
happy
with
the
response
from
audience
and
collections
that
their
films
made.
Producer
Keyar
has
said
that
the
movie
bosses
have
fooled
media
and
public.
The
actual
figures
of
Jilla
and
Veeram
could
be
shocking
for
many.
Indeed,
he
attacked
media
by
saying
that
they
carried
and
wrote
about
the
films
collections
without
cross
checking
or
analysing
it.
He
also
took
a
potshot
at
a
leading
critic
and
trader
for
writing
a
baseless
Box
Office
report
chart.
Keyar
recalled
that
Ajith
Kumar's
Arrambam
was
also
publicised
in
a
similar
manner.
He
claimed
that
the
makers
of
the
movie
had
claimed
that
the
film,
which
was
released
in
800
screens,
earned
Rs
132
crores
at
the
Box
Office,
which
is
funny.

Keyar
says
that
nobody
has
guts
to
write
the
facts
and
he
is
disappointed
with
the
development.
Jilla-Veeram
Commercial
Failures
Producer
Keyar
said
that
the
truth
is
that
both
Jilla
and
Veeram
are
commercial
failures.
Vijay's
film
and
Ajith's
flick
did
not
perform
well
in
many
areas
in
Tamil
Nadu.
Goli
Soda
Winner
Keyar
claimed
that
only
Goli
Soda
has
earned
good
profits
not
only
to
producers,
but
also
to
distributors
and
exhibitors.
He
said
this
at
an
audio
launch
function.
His
Earlier
Statement
On
Jilla-Veeram
However,
we
have
to
note
that
Keyar
had
appreciated
both
the
films
when
released
and
had
claimed
that
collections
of
both
the
films
were
brilliant.
Veeram-Jilla
But
many
are
wondering
what
made
him
say
such
things
at
this
stage.
Is
there
any
hidden
agenda?
We
don't
have
any
answer
for
now.
