Oscar's jackpot with <i>Pachaikili Muthucharam</i>

Thursday, December 14, 2006
Gautham Menon's Pachaikili Muthucharam, with Sarath Kumar and Jyotika in the lead roles is complete and ready for release.

Milind Soman is the sauve, understated villain, an able foil to Sarath's usual intense acting. Pachaikili Muthucharam made at a total cost of just over Rs 3 crores was reportedly bought over by Oscar Ravichandran for Rs 6.5 Crores.

Oscar has now distributed the movie for - hold your breath - 100 million or 10 crores! So he has truly hit a jackpot. It is understood that the movie is superlatively good, so the distributors will also earn in millions.

It is understood that Oscar Ravi is now also scouting for the rights for Gautham's next movie, Vaaranamayiram, with Suriya in the lead role.
