Why SUN gave up GOAT to Zee ? Kavin B'Day and Keerthy's Samantha avatar

Our Mumbai guys tell us that Keerthy Suresh’s Hindi debut film Baby John will release on August 2md. For Bollywood, this is a Varun Dhawan film and remake of Tamil film Theri with Thalapathy Vijay in the lead. Producer is Jawan fame Atlee. Now for us down South ,the film is a must watch as Keerthy plays Samanatha’s role in the Hindi. We are told that Keerthy has gone the Samanatha way and we have to wait to know what it means.

Kavin of Dada and Star fame is celeberating his birthday today along with Vijay. Except for posters on X, there is no fan messages. Anyway guys note this Kavin age is 3# and was born in June 22 1990. After Star, he has vecome a safe Star and there is Vetri Maran production and a film Bloody Beggars with choreographer Sridhar as director and Anirudh music.

To us it was a bit of shocker that GOAT was bought by Zee for satellite release in all languages. We were aware that Sun TV had paid a advance to AGS for the TV rights. How did it land up in Zee camp ?. Our trackers tell us that two reasons played out in Sun giving up the TV telecast rights. Primarily the amount quoted by Zee was Rs 75 crores. AGS wanted Rs 90-100 crores. Sun was not willing to go more than Rs 60 crores. Secondly, DMK First family had felt that if Sun bought the rights, it would not look good. Detractors would say that the DMK is making money out of Vijay and that they have a secret pact Sooner or later, Vijay’s TVK and DMK will have to cross swords and the Sun TV deal could be an propaganda weapon for Opposition. The new poster of old and new Vijay and a song released on occasion of Thalapathy Vijay B’Day has excited the fans. Seeman of NTK has praised Vijay skyhigh. In light of the Kallakuruchi liquor deaths, all birthday celebrations have been put on hold. Thupaaki re- release on Day one has collected Rs 32 lakhs and Pokkiri has netted Rs 28 lakhs.
