Tantra Films, one of the popular distributors of Tamil movies in countries abroad, has acquired the FMS (foreign management screening) rights of Vijay starrer ‘Kavalan’, which is getting ready for a December release.
Although many of the national and regional markets are yet to make business, what with the not-so-enthusiastic performance of Vijay’s previous films, international market has already been sold out. Tantra Films has fetched the movie for Rs 6 crore to be released outside India.
It’s also learnt that the Kerala rights of Kaavalan has been sold at 1.5 crore to Thameens Films. Though Kaavalan is a remake of the Malayalam hit Bodyguard, the Vijay craze among the fans in Kerala has done the magic.
