Vijay, however, took the deep rooted issues to his shoulders and made the movie getting out of financial problems. If the buzz from Kollywood sources are to be believed, Vijay paid Rs.13 crores of his remuneration back to clear the financial issues thus paved way for movie's release. Eventually, the movie got released with the delay of one or two shows in entire Tamil Nadu today. Telugu version of the movie will be releasing tomorrow. The movie received mixed reports from the audience. Vijay has came up with superb performance in the movie.
