Reason for Shivaji Delay

This is about Shivaji, sources in Chennai claim that, the actual reason for the delay in the movie release is not the post-production work but the business problem, which has not been done. The reason behind this they cite is that a ruling party politician’s son was reportedly interested in buying the rights of the movie and offered a sum of 85 crores, which the producers declined and said they would be able to do business to the tune of 120 crores and explained in what way it was possible - as the first 2 weeks the ticket prices could be hiked to 180 Rs.

So the politician’s son, immediately got a rule passed by the government that the ticket price in Tamil Nadu shouldn’t exceed 40 Rs., this happened in January and regarding this issue, there was a problem in the release of Tamil Pokiri also.

Now at that prices, the distributors are hesitating to buy the movie and Rajnikant is away to Himalayas for meditation, and the producers are in a fix as their price is not coming up to their expectation and they don’t want to under sell the film, hence delaying the movie umpteen times.
