Even as Kamal Haasan is getting strong opposition from the theater owners for his plans to premiere his upcoming movie Vishwaroopam through DTH, he seems to be getting strong support within the industry too.
Veteran director Bharathiraja has appreciated and supports Kamal Haasan move. He feels that filmmakers should take advantage of new technologies and make such new attempts. The director has said that he will be taking steps to release his movies through DTH in his future films.

The new method of releasing the movie through DTH has got a strong opposition from Theater Association but Kamal Haasan did not change his mind which has resulted in lot of controversy from Day 1.

Ace director Bharathiraja though has been a staunch supporter of this move from the beginning.He has said that filmmakers should always be open to new technologies and that he would also make such new attempts in his future films. His current movie Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum is nearing completion and the audio launch of this movie would happen soon in Madurai. Bharathiraja recently visited Pazhani with his entire family to pray for the success of Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum. Hope the movie comes out well.
