The makers of Tamizh Padam 2 has released a hilarious press release explaining the reason behind postponing the film release.
The filmmakers of upcoming spoof movie Tamizh Padam 2 on Monday put out a press release explaining the ‘real’ reason why the film did not arrive in cinemas on the date announced earlier. “We had earlier announced TP2.0 release date as May 25, but we had to push it due to technical reasons,” read the statement. And the reason behind the delay is said to be the extensive special effects work involved in the film. The filmmakers have seemingly taken a sarcastic dig at Superstar Rajinikanth’s much-delayed film, 2.0.
Rajinikanth’s mega-budget sci-fi film has been postponed several times since last year citing a huge amount of post-production, which is attributed to the CGI work that has been going on in many studios around the world.
“TP2.0 has huge amounts of visuals effects (CGI) work, mainly to show our lead actors in good light. Consequently, the work on our hero, biceps & shoulder had been outsourced to a studio in LA, California and the heroine, wrinkle removal and under-eye work to a studio in Amsterdam. Due to the massive amount of VFX required in these areas, we’ve had to reschedule our release but fear not, we plan to meet you soon in theatres! (sic),” the statement added.
And the note ends with a promise that the teaser of Tamil Padam 2 will be out soon.
Tamil Padam 2 makers have been promoting the film with their unique sense of humor and exceptional talent of trolling everyone in the good spirit. Going by the latest press release, even Rajinikanth is not safe from their unforgiving sarcasm.
The actual reason, however, is said to be the strike called by Tamil Nadu Film Producers’ Council, which brought the industry to a standstill for more than two months.
