Well-known
Hindi
film-maker
Anurag
Kashyap
was
in
Chennai
recently
and
as
always
had
many
things
to
say
about
Tamil
cinema.
Talking
about
Tamil
films'
chances
at
the
international
film
festivals,
Anurag
has
said,
if
producers
are
willing
to
send
their
movies
to
festivals,
then
Tamil
movies
would
easily
travel
to
many
places.
"If
'Subramaniapuram'
had
been
sent
to
film
festivals,
it
would
have
journeyed
way
more
than
even
my
films
did!
However,
producers
in
Tamil
cinema
do
not
want
to
send
them.
I
also
tried
to
send
one
of
Bala's
films,
but
the
producer
had
issues," he
has
said,
according
to
a
report
from
Deccan
Chronicle.
The
Raman
Raghav
2.0
director
feels
that
Tamil
producers
fear
that
their
movies
might
be
leaked
if
sent
to
film
festivals.
"The
production
house
is
afraid
that
a
film
will
get
leaked,
if
it
is
sent
for
fests.
So,
they
go
for
the
theatrical
release
first.
But
the
irony
is
that
festivals
won't
take
in
films
that
have
been
released
already.
Vetri's
'Visaaranai'
was
able
to
do
that
because
he
held
back
the
theatrical
release
-
as
he
was
one
of
the
producers
of
the
film.
If
filmmakers
start
controlling
their
films,
then
Tamil
cinema
will
go
places.
The
problem
with
Tamil
cinema
is
not
the
films;
it
is
the
attitude," he
has
said.
