Vijay, Dr Bharathi
Duniya Vijay's first home production, Jayammana Maga, has more 'homely' matters involved in it than what meets the eye. The shooting for the film is complete, but its future, including its release, is firmly entwined with the family problem of the actor. Like most stars who turned producers, Vijay too made his wife the official producer of Jayammana Maga. So, it means that without Nagarathna's nod, the film can neither be released, given to distributors or sold to television. As per law, the 'author' and 'owner' of a feature film is the producer, not even the director. The Copyright Act makes it very clear. So if Vijay wants to see the film released, he has no option but to seek his wife's help. Sources say that Nagarathna is willing to give up her rights for the sake of her husband. The money invested in the film belongs to Vijay and she was only a nominal producer. The family problem between the husband and wife, which has seen Vijay walk out and stay with his parents, has meant a big dealy in the film's release. The problem is becoming more complicated by the day with Vijay pressing charges against a television channel for interviewing his children during the crisis.
Meanwhile, K Manju produced Rajini Kantha, in which Vijay is seen in a double role is releasing this week. Some people in the film industry are predicting that this film will be to Vijay what Sarathi was to Darshan. Darshan was in jail for domestic violence when Sarathi released and became his biggest hit. Now Darshan and his wife are happily back together. It is to be seen if Rajini Kantha will do the same to Vijay.
