Vanamagan release postponed to June 23rd due to Kollywood’s mass shutdown

Originally slated to hit screens on May 19th, Jayam Ravi- Sayyeshaa’s Vanamagan directed by Vijay has been postponed to June 23rd due to the mass shutdown of Tamil film industry which is likely to happen from May 30th.

“Though we are fully ready for the scheduled release of the film on 19th May 2017, Tamil Film Producer’s Council President Thiru Vishal have advised us not to release the film, as the Tamil film Industry is planning for a shutdown of new films release and shooting from 30th May, which will leave hardly 11 days for the film in theatres. Even our distributors have cautioned against releasing the film without this clarity on the proposed strike. We are left with no option other than postponing the film’s release to 23rd June 2017. In the larger interest of the Tamil film industry, we are accepting and postponing the release,” said Vijay in a statement.

“We are hopeful that the proposed strike gets the attention of the Governments involved and the issues faced by the industry are addressed on war footing so that the Industry comes out of the problems it is in. We thank all our media friends & Thiru Vishal for the whole-hearted support to our film and to the fans of Jayam Ravi sir & Vanamagan and request you to continue the support. We assure you to offer one of the best heartwarming and purposeful entertainer from our team on 23rd June 2017,” he added.
