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.

According to sources, the foreign distribution rights of this Vijay’s 51st film have been bagged by J K Saravana, the man behind Tantra Films, for a whopping price banking on the Vijay-Siddique combo, which delivered ‘Friends’ nearly a decade ago.

For those who want to know more about Saravana, he is one of the co-producers of ‘Chennai 600028’, the Venkat Prabhu directorial venture which set a new trend in Kollywood.

Meanwhile, sources in ‘Kavalan’ unit say Vijay is leaving no stone unturned to make the film a blockbuster. “The last schedule of the shooting is currently on and Vijay, with the help of Siddique, is monitoring each and every aspect of the film. He moves on to the next scene only after double checking it on the monitor”.

They add: “The film has shaped up well by Siddique. The Vijay-Vadivelu duo will set the screen on fire with their terrific on-screen chemistry, which would be visible after Friends, Vaseegara and Bhagavathy”.
