Home > News > Thala’s ‘ASAL’ to release on February 5 WorldwideJanuary 28th, 2010
Here’s the greatest happy news for all ‘Thala’ fans. The film ‘ASAL’ has come out extraordinarily well and this was heard straight from the shoulders of those who saw the film recently. The film was slated to hit screens on February 12 and now it’s getting so gleeful to hear that it will get released on February 5.
The film is about a family in France wedged between serious situations and the complete second half is filled with twists and turns when MGR meets Sivaji Ganeshan.
Does it sound quite puzzling and interesting as well? Uh-huh! The actual turning in the film is where both father and son (both played by Ajith Kumar) meet each other.
The censor board officials have passed ‘U/A’ for some slight violent contents with dialogue mutes and will hit the screens on Feb 5. The advertisements for release date will be published from tomorrow and the booking plans will be opened from this Sunday (Jan 31).
So get ready for the ‘ASAL’ feast as it is said to be a sleek and stylish thriller with racy screenplay. The complete film’s duration is reported to be just 2Hrs15mins and every moment will be so fantastic with interesting moments.
The film is about brothers whose real identities revealed during the second hour causes the biggest turning point in plot. :)
We are sure you must be exalted with great excitements and now keep logging to this column for more updates…
It’s official now!!! Superstar Rajnikanth will launch the audio of Thala’s ‘ASAL’. We were the first one to bring the happy news to all fans of ‘Ultimate Star’. Now, we would like to confirm that things will happen as mentioned.
The film’s audio will be launched at the residence of ace actor Sivaji Ganeshan as their sons have produced it. The entire cast and crew of this film will be present along with some of the leading personalities of film industry.

In true Ajith style, no one is talking about this movie called Aasal. Just snippets of eagerly-lapped up info on how the script is an action-thriller never done before, how the locations all over the world are breathtaking, how there are two lovely leading ladies in the movie who are not mere eye-candy and how the sex-appeal of the villains – five of them at least – match any hero’s! Perhaps that’s why Thala has been chosen to fill the large superstar’s shoes…
Talking to director Saran, as Aasal stands on the verge of release, one can observe the same calm he displayed just before shooting commenced. He knows what anticipation his partnership with Ajith creates, but is completely untouched by its pressure. Call it confidence or call it professionalism? “There are two important things about Aasal that we did take into consideration. What Ajith fans expect from a Ajith-Saran combo and what they expect when that combo combines with Sivaji Productions, a production house that has given the super hit Chandramukhi. We had to fulfill these expectations, but at the same time, we drew a boundary for ourselves as well. While we have taken utmost efforts to satisfy Ajith’s diehard fans, we have also made sure that the movie will suit the rest of the audience as well. While the fan is sure to feel the movie was made entirely for him, the rest of the audience will not feel left out either,” reveals the director, who has his finger on the pulse of the Ultimate Star’s loyal fans.
“Ajith is undeniably a mass hero. He knows exactly what his fans would like to see on the screen. That’s why it has been a pleasure to have him contribute towards the dialogues and screenplay,” he adds. Yugi Sethu, the screenwriter, confirms the same, saying, “His part in the script and dialogues has been invaluable. Ajith is fully in sync with the cravings of his fans, while Saran is great at improvising things on the spot. The three of us worked on the script together. I believe this is the first time Ajith’s name will appear in the writers’ category, and that makes us writers all the more proud of our craft. If it were not an important facet of the movie, why would he associate himself with it?”
“We have taken utmost care to give the movie a very stylish look. Billa set a standard of putting out an urban, stylish movie that also appealed to the general masses and we are not just living up to it, but we have given our best effort to better it,” asserts Saran. “Watching Aasal being made and looking at the rushes, I had a feeling of coming of age. Tamil cinema has moved on to another level . There must be no turning back. The only way is forward,” sums up Yugi.
Thus muses Ajith: “There are so many stories that crop up all around a movie when the rumour mill doesn’t have any info to churn out! ‘Aasal is a remake of Payback’ Or, ‘Ajith wanted a prequel to Billa and this is what Aasal is all about’ or whatever else. Perhaps they believe it builds more anticipation. Or perhaps they just want to be the stars of their dinner-table conversations with scoop that is perhaps just a smidgen of an idea built into a tale. Never mind - they can all have their fun. I, on the other hand, still believe in keeping things mysterious and something to await eagerly in the dark. The movie experience should, after all, be fresh and a revelation!’’
It is rush hour in Kollywood! 35 Tamil films, big and small, are scheduled to release on five Fridays between today and February 26. The Tamil film industry has not witnessed such a rush of releases. There are no theatres available in Tamil Nadu to accommodate such a large number of releases. And those films which are getting released are being pushed out after only a week by the ones waiting in the queue! Says Abirami Ramanathan, “Never before have so many films been lined up for release in a month’s time. There is a mad rush to release the films before March and I would say it is mass suicide as too many films at the same time will kill the market.” Ramanathan says none of the films, even the biggies, are likely to have long runs, and theatres will have to cut down the number of shows for a new release, which will eat into their profits.
Take for example the Pongal release Aayirathil Oruvan, which got a fantastic opening but fell as negative talk affected collections. However, after a few controversial scenes were deleted and the length of the film was reduced, it picked up very well, especially in Chennai city, NSC and Coimbatore areas. And today, with five new films releasing, the number of shows of AO has been reduced to accommodate them. In some small centres, due to acute theatre shortage, it may even be discontinued.
“The splurge in releases is expected to have a chain effect, which will in one way or other affect all releases during the period, including big budget films, which will not be allowed to settle down. The demand for theatres is so huge that in smaller centres, theatre owners are planning to screen four different films on a single screen,” says a leading film mediator and theatre booking agent. Other language films are also finding it difficult to get theatres in Tamil Nadu, with the biggie My Name is Khan not getting many screens outside Chennai.
Everybody wants to release their films before the examination season starts in March. Added to that, IPL 2010 will start on March 12 and end on April 25, and during this period there won’t be any major releases. From May 1, the summer biggies like Vijay’s Sura, Suriya’s Singam and Jayam Ravi’s Thilalangadi are due for release. So, for many producers, it is now or never.
READY FOR RELEASE
Here are a few films due to release in the next one month — Goa, Tamizh Padam, Jaggubhai, Kadhai, Dhairiyam, Asal, Paiyya, Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai, Aval Peyar Tamilarasi, Magane En Marumagane, Thambikku Intha Ooru, Appavi, Kacheri Aarambam, Yaathu Mahi, Mundhinam Paartheney.
