Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s AR Murgadoss produced Kaththi has been censored on Saturday (Oct 1) and has got a U certificate. It’s time to celebrate but producers Lyca Productions are not going to town about it.
Kaththi is confirmed for a Diwali release on October 22, but there are no high profile promotions or even a press meet. The trailer of the film is yet to be released, and everything regarding the film is being kept under the wraps.
The buzz in Kollywood is that the producers do not want to hype the film or promote it aggressively before release, as it can create unnecessary controversies.
The film has been in the eye of a storm as some Tamil groups have been saying that the producers are very close to the Sri Lankan president. The court has refused to interfere after the censor of the film.
Meanwhile the Tamil groups say that they will continue with their agitation if Lyca are the producers. They have no problem if the producers are changed to Vijay or AR Murgadoss.
Now it looks like the film and its makers will keep a low profile and release straight to theatres worldwide on October 22. Till then Kaththi will remain in the sheath.
