Is producer Aascar Ravichandran and director Shankar planning to release their magnum opus Ai starring Chiyaan Vikram for Deepavali 2014? The Kollywood grapevine is abuzz that Aascar has settled some of his dues and Ai may come out shortly.
Deepavali 2014 is already promising a lot of fireworks in Kollywood with Vijay’s Kaththi and Vishal’s Poojai targeting the same day. Now how to fit in Ai at a time when there is a shortage of screens?
Earlier it was said that Kamal Haasan’s Viswaroopam which is also co-produced by Aascar Films would release ahead of Ai. But now that another Kamal movie Uttama Villain is zeroing in on October 2, Viswaroopam 2 will be pushed to a later date this year.
Deepavali is still three months away and in Kollywood’s timeline that is too long a period to lock in a release date. The final release date will only be known closer to the festival of lights.
