Vikram's
long
awaiting
magnum
opus
Bheema
is
almost
certain
to
hit
the
screens
for
Pongal
2008.
Directed
by
Lingusamy,
the
film
has
been
started
in
May
2006.
Due
to
some
financial
crisis,
the
film's
release
became
a
big
question
for
the
past
one
year.
Finally,
it
is
getting
out
of
its
deep
slumber
and
is
confirmed
to
be
the
big
Pongal
release
against
Kamal's
Dasavatharam!
Since
there
will
be
no
release
for
Vijay
and
Ajith
for
this
Pongal
race,
Bheema
will
be
the
only
big
film
competes
with
Dasavatharam.
Lingusamy,
the
director
has
almost
completed
his
work
and
the
first
copy
has
been
also
shown
to
some
of
the
film
personalities.
Those,
who
have
seen
the
movie,
commented
that
it
was
an
awesome,
never
slick
and
racy
entertainer.
The
good
pre-release
reports
on
this
film
forced
the
financiers
and
distributors
to
come
to
the
rescue
of
the
producer
AM
Rathnam.
Now,
he
is
also
getting
ready
to
announce
his
next
film
with
Vijay
under
the
direction
of
Selvaraagavan.
