Uttama Villain delayed due to VFX works

Kamal Haasan-starrer ‘Uttama Villain’, which was originally slated to release on April 10, 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 March 27, but it got delayed due to various reasons. Now the film will not release on April 10, and instead the makers are planning to release it on April 17 or April 24," tolda source from the film's unit.

VFX supervisor Madhusudanan, who has earlier worked on Mr Haasan's films such as ‘Alavandhan’ and ‘Thenali’, is busy overseeing the pending work.

"Kamal sir has requested Madhu not to rush. He said he doesn't mind waiting for two more weeks but doesn't want to compromise on the output," the source said.

Directed by Ramesh Aravind, ‘Uttama Villain’, which sees Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah alongside Kamal, is the story of a theatre artist in the 8th century and a modern day superstar.
