A
Roadblock
According
to
a
leading
YouTube
channel,
Atlee
has
indirectly
created
a
big
problem
for
the
Bigil
team.
The
young
filmmaker,
apparently,
wanted
to
wrap
up
the
shoot
of
Bigil
by
August-end.
These
plans,
however,
went
for
a
toss
when
stunt
director
Anal
Arasu
informed
him
that
he
would
be
needing
at
least
22
days
to
film
a
fight
sequence
that
is
an
integral
part
of
the
climax.
The
buzz
is
that
this
situation
would
not
have
cropped
up
had
Atlee
planned
things
properly.
The
Background
Interestingly,
this
is
not
the
first
time
that
Atlee
has
landed
in
trouble
while
working
on
Bigil.
Some
time
ago,
it
was
reported
that
the
director
was
on
the
verge
of
being
dropped
from
the
movie
as
a
producer
had
claimed
that
Mersal
was
plagiarised
from
Moondru
Mugam.
However,
luckily
for
Atlee,
the
controversy
died
down.
A
Non-controversial
Affair?
Vijay
and
Atlee's
Mersal
had
landed
in
a
major
controversy
when
some
BJP
leaders
slammed
the
film
for
criticising
a
few
central
government
schemes.
The
buzz
is
that,
unlike
Mersal,
Bigil
will
not
have
any
political
undertones,
which
suggests
that
it
is
going
to
a
non-controversial
affair.
A
Crucial
Release
For
Vijay
Last
year,
Vijay
suffered
a
setback
when
Sarkar
underperformed
at
the
box
office
despite
opening
on
a
solid
note,
The
film
ran
into
trouble
with
the
AIADMK,
for
allegedly
trying
to
'defame' J
Jayalalithaa,
which
affected
its
collections
once
the
initial
buzz
died
down.
As
such,
Bigil
is
a
crucial
release
for
the
mass
hero.
