Amicable settlement in Kuselan issue; Exhibitors hail Rajini!

The 20 days old tussle between the producers, distributors and exhibitors of Superstar Rajini’s latest release Kuselan has reached to an end. All the three powerful associations of Tamil cinema have came to a smooth and amicable settlement today after the agreement signed between Rama Narayanan, the President of Producers Council and Annamalai, President of Exhibitors Association.

At the end of yesterday’s discussion, Rama Narayanan and Annamalai released a joint press release on the smooth settlement of this issue.
According to the statement, a section of media has wrongly projected the whole issue and portrays that all the exhibitors are against the Superstar Rajini and distributors association in Kuselan issue. The Exhibitors association also refused that they have never announced any non co operational movements against the producers of Kuselan i.e., Pyramid Saimira, Kavithalaya, Seven Arts and Ayngaran International.

“We are the people here for years. We know the business and its up and downward trends. So, Kuselan matter will not be an issue here after and it would be amicably settled by us. We would request the media not to project anything against the industry without proper evidences or official releases from us!” the report says.

Also the report owes that the members of all the trade bodies will never give independent statement or declaration about any film’s business without the knowledge of concerned authorities in future.

Meanwhile the exhibitors association overwhelmingly hailed our Superstar for his magnanimity and passion towards the industry people’s welfare.

“No doubt, Rajini sir is the person who always stands for genuine, magnanimity and greatness. We never targeted him at any stage in this issue. In fact we never demanded compensation from him. We have clearly mentioned this in our press statements also. But Rajini sir himself called us and heard our grievances and came forward to settle 35 percent of the MG as compensation. No one in the Industry is having this kind of great heart… We must thankful to the great soul Rajini sir...” say the members unanimously in the meet.

The President of Kanchi-Thiruvallur Theater owners association, Panneer Selvam also praised Superstar Rajini for his kind approach when he met him a week before with some of his office bearers.
