Will Vishwaroopam release in August?
Vishwaroopam has been lying low after the trailer release a few weeks ago.Enquiring some key trade sources, here is the word about Vishwaroopam and the reasons quoted for the delay. The asking price quoted by Kamal Haasan were little too steep for buyers.
Kamal had quoted up to Rs. 80 Crores for Tamil, Rs. 55 Crores for Hindi and Rs. 25 Crores for Telugu including the international, music and satellite rights for respective languages.Since this is not even in the range, potential buyers including Reliance, Aascar, Eros could not even come up with a counter offer.
Kamal Haasan had been in a wait-and-watch mode for almost a month now. There are some indications that Kamal may have relaxed his position from the initial expectations as he doesn't want to miss the August 24th window (In between Ek Thaa Tiger and Joker).
