'Indian 2' Makers Lend In Legal Trouble Over The Film's OTT Release

Chennai, August 29 - Legendary Kamal Haasan and director Shankar reunited for the sequel to their 1997 Indian and released it on the big screen in July this year after years of production delays. Indian 2, produced by Lyca Production, however, failed to create any magic at the box office and ended up as a disaster.## After the no-show at the box office, Indian 2 premiered on the digital platform on August 12, 4 weeks after the theatrical release. Shockingly, the Hindi version of the movie also started streaming in less than 6 weeks after its release and this has put the makers in legal trouble. ## According to the report in Pinkvilla, the Multiplex Association of India has sent a legal notice to the team of Indian 2 for flouting the OTT rules. It is known to everyone that films released in Hindi will have to follow a strict 8-week OTT window, and the ones who don't obey the guidelines, won't get a release in the top 3 national multiplex chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis. ## The report suggests that the makers of Indian 2 had agreed to the guidelines to release the Hindi version, Hindustani 2 in multiplexes, which means, the dubbed version was supposed to be available on OTT on September 6 but MAI was shocked to know that it is already available on Netflix, much before the set window.## The Multiplex Association wants to give a stern message to all the producers to follow the 8-week window and in this process, the organization has sent a legal notice to the Indian 2 team. Multiple people from the MAI and other exhibitors have confirmed this development to Pinkvilla independently on the condition of anonymity. ## Stay tuned...

Aamir Khan To Play A Cameo In Rajinikanth's 'Coolie': Report

Chennai, August 27 - Recently, it was reported that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan would be teaming up with Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj after the filmmaker's Coolie with superstar Rajinikanth. Now, a new buzz has surfaced regarding the duo's collaboration. ## According to the latest Tamil media reports, Aamir Khan would be playing a cameo role in Coolie which is currently in production. While the official confirmation is yet to be made, it is said that the actor will have a crucial role in the context of the film. ## It is to be noted that Lokesh Kanagaraj had offered the same role to superstar Shah Rukh Khan but later declined the role as SRK doesn't want to feature in an extended role though he has huge respect for legendary Rajinikanth. ## If all goes well, Coolie will mark Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan's reunion after the 1995 Bollywood film Aatank Hi Aatank. Noteably, it will be the first time when Aamir Khan will work with Lokesh Kanagaraj before the director makes his Bollywood debut with the Dangal star, as reported.## Coolie is produced by Sun Pictures, and it also stars Upendra, Sathyaraj, and Shruti Haasan in prominent roles. The movie will be released in 2025 in multiple languages.## Stay tuned...

Tamil Film Producers Council Makes 8 Weeks Theatrical Window Mandatory For Star Heroes Films

Chennai, July 30 - The Tamil Film Producers Council has made some sensational decisions regarding the functioning of Tamil films and actors. As per reports, TFPC has decided to hold the shootings of the new Tamil movies after August 15. ## It is learned that many producers have complained about actors' negligence towards completing the films despite taking advance payment. TFPC has taken a decision that only after the actors and technicians finish the pending films, will they be allowed to act in the newly signed movies. ## One of the most important topics which were discussed by the council was the issue of films being streamed on OTT platforms early. Over the past few years, Tamil films, including star heroes movies, have been made to stream online within 4 weeks which has reduced footfalls in theatres, causing huge losses to exhibitors and distributors.## The producers' council has decided that going forward, the digital release of all-star heroes films will only be after 8 weeks of the theatrical run. This move is expected to bring massive relief to theatres as it will help bring more audiences to theatres which will boost the box office prospects of the movies significantly.## Stay tuned...
