Finally, after much dilly-dallying, Sun Pictures has acquired the distribution rights of Vishal's home production 'Theeratha Vilaiyattu Pillai'.  After much confabulations about the rate of selling of the film, it is said that it was Vishal who had to make 'many compromises' in giving his film to Sun Pictures.   They had also told Vishal that they won't be releasing the film on Pongal eve, as demanded by the star, and would be deciding on their own about the date of release of the film.

If everything goes as per plan, both Ajit's 'Asal' and Vishal's 'Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai' might be releasing on the same day, say industry-watchers.  Neither of the stars would like such a clash, as both of them are badly in need of a hit to sustain their careers.  Sun Pictures, which doesn't share a great rapport with Ajit, might just use Vishal as the trump card in upsetting Ajit's apple-cart, it is rumoured.

Sensing the danger, Ajit has decided to re-organise and rejuvenate the many fans' clubs so that they would be working rigorously to ensure the success of his film.  To re-organise and re-energize them, 'Thala' has reportedly decided to convene a meeting of the district-wise representatives of the fans' clubs soon.

Good luck, Ajith!
