Kollywood
have
always
had
talented
artistes
and
technicians,
but
investing
big
bucks
in
Tamil
movies
were
once
a
rarity
and
a
dream
for
each
and
every
director
in
the
fraternity.
Ask
Shankar
of
Enthiran
fame
and
he
will
tell
you
how
he
struggled
to
get
his
script,
about
a
robot
falling
in
love
with
a
woman,
alive
on
screen
due
to
lack
of
financial
support
even
though
the
story
was
ready
10
years
ago.
Kamal
Haasan's
magnum
opus
Marudhanayagam
was
shelved
as
the
movie's
budget
overshot
beyond
Ulaganayagan's
imagination.
Many
more
projects
have
not
been
considered
because
of
its
monstrous
budget
even
if
it
was
meant
to
be
a
trendsetter.
But
that
situation
is
slowly
changing
as
more
and
more
producers
are
coming
forward
to
take
a
risk
by
investing
big
money,
showing
their
trust
in
directors'
ability.
Movies
like
Ghajini,
Sivaji,
Enthiran
and
Vishwaroopam
are
some
classic
examples
highlighting
the
change
that
is
taking
place
in
the
industry
slowly
but
surely.
Of
late,
many
big
budget
movies
have
been
released
and
the
producers
are
also
making
their
money
out
of
it
as
they
have
learned
the
trick
in
investing
big
budget
movies.
As
2014
will
make
way
for
2015
in
less
than
a
couple
of
months,
Kollywood
is
set
to
be
flooded
with
big
movies
with
a
possible
potential
of
elevating
Tamil
cinema's
standards.
While
few
of
those
will
be
released
by
the
end
of
this
year,
many
big
movies
will
be
released
in
early
and
mid
2015.
We
bring
to
you
a
list
of
big
budget
movies
that
will
be
released
in
near
future
which
will
surely
take
Kollywood
and
its
audience
by
surprise
as
it's
a
rarity
to
see
so
many
big
budget
movies
lined
up
for
back
to
back
releases.
What
is
a
rarity
now
might
turn
out
to
be
a
common
factor
given
the
standard
rise
of
big
budget
movies
in
Kollywood.
Though
the
exact
budget
of
this
Rajinikanth
starrer
has
not

a
whopping
132
crore
rupees.
