According to source Mani Ratnam's production company Madras Talkies is in the final round of negotiation for huge Rs.120 Crore deal with the Anil Ambani run Reliance Entertainment Big Picture, for negative rights of all the three versions. According to close sources from the industry, if this deal happens, it will be the biggest ever for a South Indian Film.

Mani Sir as he is known in Kollywood, has been working on this script ever since the release of his super hit Guru in Jaunary, 2007.

Vikram And Producer Thanu Is In Great Shock

The crew of Kandasamy including its hero Vikram and Producer Thanu is in great shock and disappointment. Nearly 30 out of the 120 film rolls that were used for the shooting in the exotic locations of Mexico recently have been found damaged.

Normally for films that are shot abroad, the film rolls are prevented from getting 'scanned' at the airport by the security staff, if the crew provides enough proof to the airport authorities that those film rolls are used ones. It seems that this formality hasn't been followed in this instance.

Director Susi Ganesan and the cameraman Eka are accusing that the airport staffs have 'mishandled' the film rolls. But some of the unit members say that it could be the fault of the unit itself as they were extremely casual in attitude.

'Kalaipuli' Thanu is very upset as all the efforts and crores of money spent in Mexico has been wasted. After realising the importance of those damaged rolls, Thanu gave idea to the director to fly again to Mexico to shooting those scenes in the same locations. But after hearing some of his close friend's idea, he instructed the director to shoot the remaining portions and the climax in Binny mills.
