The film ‘Attagasam’ was produced in a fast paced manner. Expenditure was also moderate. Even than, there were problems before it got released.

The producer of this film Karthikeyan didn’t settle the agreed amount to anybody from art director to Ajith. Even though he happened to be a close friend of Ajith, and waited patiently for 2 ½ years to produce a film with Ajith.

“I had waited many years to do a film with Ajith. Because of this I didn’t attempted to do any other films. I have some personal problems. That is why I was not able to keep my promise in money matters. But I didn’t do this purposefully”, thus explains Karthikeyan.

‘Attagasam’ was released due to intervention of Ajith and Saran. When the producer came to the press show, the technicians surrounded him to demand the settlement of their dues. Ajith and Saran made peace then. After these problems Ajith had decided not to act in the movie produced by Karthikeyan in future. But Karthikeyan is optimistic, he says “It is true that there is some problem between myself and Ajith. But everything will become all right after some time. I will do another film with Ajith.

Considering the fact that, there are many persons who parted ways with Ajith had come back and had worked with him again. The list of those people is rather lengthy. Bala, Saran, A.M.Rathnam, Chakravarthy to name of a few. Karthikeyan is the latest addition in this list. But what Karthikeyan says may be true. Because Ajith has that ‘Kind’ of heart.
 

Attagasam leads the race

A total of five films graced this theatres this Deepavali.

Thanks to the State government for doing away with pirated VCDs and the fact that all five films stars being popular actors, there has been a good collection at all the theaters where these movies were screened.

The festive day followed by a weekend and Ramzan has meant a huge queue in all theatres. In spite of showers, people have thronged the cinema halls. Though all the movies have been doing a good-business, the real contest at the box-office seems to be between Ajith's comeback film Attagasam and Silambarasan's Manmadhan.

Both the films have opened to maximum number of theatres in the State.
The two movies are expected to send the cash registers ringing in the coming days. Ajith in Attgasam looks cool and confident and may emerge as the number one in the race.

Following these two would be Sarath Kumar's Chatrapathy while Vijayakanth's Neranja Manasu, though had a fantastic opening, has very little prospects of continuing the good flow.

Last in race would be Dhanush's Dreams, which is about adolescent love story. Unlike other Dhanush's ventures, Dreams has not had a good opening.

As of this opening week, it's between Attagasam and Manmadhan.
