in the lead role, and the 2007
Tamil
release marked the actor's debut film. It was a dream debut for Karthi as the rural entertainer transformed into a mega-hit, and it had a theatrical run of over 300 days in multiple centers. The 2007 Tamil film is gearing up to hit the big screens once again, and the film's remastered version is to be released in theatres soon. Karthi's film is fixed to have a grand re-release, and the film is set to peak at the box office after almost 17 years.
But the re-release plan of 'Paruthiveeran' has caused a stir, while fans await to see whether the film will face any controversy.
Recently, 'Paruthiveeran' producer
KE Gnanavel Raja
and the film's director Ameer had a conflict. KE Gnanavel Raja accused Ameer of submitting fake bills during the film's production valuation, and he criticized the director on a public forum. This disturbed Ameer, and the director blamed the producer for attacking his sincerity. Several stars from Tamil cinema, who have an extended association with Ameer, came in support of the director to mock the producer, and the exchange of words between both sides stirred up the controversy. KE Gnanavel Raja then shared his apologies through a press release to mute the issue.
Salman Khan's production house warns against unauthorised use of actor's name: 'Legal action will be taken...'
But the conflict between the producer and director of 'Paruthiveeran' is not completely sorted out, and the film gearing up for re-release in theatres might resume the controversy again. So, we have to wait to see whether Karthi's film will have a smooth re-release or if it will face an issue again.
