Will Jigarthanda have a Friday release?

Jigarthanda's audio launch happened 3 months ago, but the film is yet to see a Friday release. What is stopping the film from being commercially screened to the Tamil audience? There has essentially been a dispute between the film's censorship and the director's creative freedom.

 

SMC Pictures Kathiresan had an impressive run with Polladhavan and Aadukalam but had to go through a financial crisis with Naiyaandi last year. He hopes to recoup now and all his hopes are pinned around the box office prospects of Jigarthanda, which would have been bolstered if the film had obtained a clean U certificate (the film now carries a U/A). 

 

Jigarthanda was actually not promised to be a U film, as it focuses on gangster rivalry in and around Madurai. The director had been clear on making a generously violent film during the pre-production stages itself, but he did make some appropriate changes to the content during the filming, to suit the mainstream crowd. 

A hurt and angry Siddharth lashes out !!!

Siddharth is a thinking actor who has essayed diverse roles in his career. He is awaiting his next release Jigarthanda directed by Karthik Subbaraj and is also working in Vasantha Balan’s Kaaviya Thalaivan.

In an outburst of sorts, Siddharth through his microblogger has stated that there are numerous lies that are written about him to the extent that he has teenage children. He has also said that he is working very hard and that he would definitely reveal when he settles down in life and has pleaded with irresponsible reporting to have some respect on his life.
