Is 2.0's loss causing distributors to stop Kaappaan's release? Details here...

Lyca Productions is one of the leading production houses in Kollywood and in recent times, they have almost single-handedly been financing all the top movies in Tamil Cinema. At any given point of time, this production house has a number of movies in various stages of production and even now, they have a huge lineup, in hand. Superstar Rajinikanth's 2.0, which hit the screens on November 29th, in 2018, was one of the most anticipated movies and this multi-lingual sequel was awaited with bated breath by all the audiences. However, the movie did not do as well as expected and the distributors are said to have incurred losses.

Now, there are rumours doing the rounds that the distributors of 2.0 are demanding reimbursement of their losses from Lyca Productions and have threatened to stop their upcoming movie Kaappaan's release, if their demands are not met with. To clarify this, we got in touch with our sources close to the production house and they revealed that there is no such issue. Our sources stated that they indeed are planning to give a refund to the distributors of 2.0 but stated that this has nothing to do with Kaappaan's release. We were told that the expectations for Kaappaan have been skyrocketing following the release of the teaser and the 'Sirki' song and that the production house is still in talks with the distributors regarding the business details of the movie.

Our sources state that there are no issues for the release of Kaappaan and that once the numbers are finalised with the distributors (which is expected to happen soon), the path for the movie's release would be as smooth as ever. This movie directed by KV Anand has Suriya, Arya, Mohanlal, Sayyeshaa, Samuthirakani, Chirag Jani, Boman Irani, Thalaivasal Vijay, Gautham Kurup, Prem and a number of other stars. Harris Jayaraj has composed the music for Kaappaan, which has cinematography by MS Prabhu and editing by Anthony. This movie is scheduled to hit the screens on September 20.
