Failure of Sura leads Vijay to refund?

After the failure of Sura, the theatre’s association in the NSC area (North and South Arcot and Chengalpet) of Tamil Nadu recently announced that they wanted the actor to take “moral responsibility for the failure of Sura”.



They wanted the actor to refund at least 40 per cent of the amount that they had paid as MG (Minimum Guarantee).

A spokesperson of the Chengalpet-Kanchipuram Theatre Association, said, “All recent Vijay films, including the latest Sura have been failures. We had lost crores earlier paying MG’s by screening Azhagiya Thamizh Magan, Kuruvi, Villu, and Vettaikkaran and now, Sura is a washout. Superstars like Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan had compensated us when their films bombed. If he is not willing to pay cash as compensation, Vijay can do a film for us to make up for the losses.”

Now, Vijay, instead of getting into a slanging match with exhibitors and distributors, has quietly begun work on two films Kavalkaran and Velayutham — simultaneously and will also start work on the Tamil remake of 3 Idiots.
