Kamal Haasan-starrer Tamil drama Uttama Villain, which was originally slated to release on 10 April, is likely to be pushed ahead by about two weeks due to the delay in completion of visual effects (VFX) work.
“Nearly 25 VFX shots are yet to be completed. It was supposed to be completed by 27 March, but it got delayed for various reasons. Now the film will not release on 10 April and instead the makers are planning to release on 24 April or 1 May,” a source from the film’s unit told IANS.
VFX supervisor Madhusudanan, who has earlier worked on Haasan’s films such as Alavandhan and Thenali, is busy overseeing the pending work. It is believed that Haasan has told him to take his time on the remaining VFX shots as he doesn’t want to jeopardise the quality of work because of lack in time.
Directed by Ramesh Aravind, Uttama Villain is the story of a theatre artist in the 8th century and a modern day superstar.
The film also features K. Balachander, K. Vishwanath, Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah, Jayaram, Urvashi and M.S. Bhaskar in important roles.
