I have done my best to ensure this film gets the right treatment for DVD and Blu-Ray. I will be working with EFX to ensure the blu-ray version lives upto standard.

when you say uncut

do you mean that the audio is uncut as well?

the audio is not censored

Why are they shooting Indian films in Super 35 these days? Is it because of the visual effects?

so what will be the price of the DVD among the UK and USA market?

Dont forget Eros own half of Ayngaran

thanks sunny! It is beyond my comprehension why would ayangran/zeros will try to shovel an extra disc of DD transfer down the throat of consumers! keep it two disc, DD or DTS? I do not think it is fair/genuine practice, may be for marketing they can rake max mullah this way!

EROS do not own Ayngaran.

EROS has 49% control of Ayngaran International DVD and Cinema releases within the UK only. They do not have any control over copyright or productions of Ayngaran outside UK.

The forthcoming production of "Robot" is an equal joint venture between EROS (Hindi dubbed version) and Ayngaran (Orginal Tamil Language Version & Telugu Dubbed Version)).

All other Ayngaran Productions have no EROS influence.

The retail price in Ayngaran stores will be £9.99.
I do not know how much online or other retailers will charge.

Sunny, I live in Leicester, UK. We only have one store in the whole city that supplies Tamil/Telegu movies which is terrible.

Isnt there any chance of these titles spread out to more Indian stores that do Hindi movies as well

Its good to know that EROS have no influence on Ayngaran products

why did you let them buy 49% percent of your company or shares

Anyway look at what Eros did to DEI back then they sued them If I was you I would stay away from them.

Eros are money driven they dont care about there customers they just want money from every where

Look at how rubbish there Hindi DVD's are now since they broke up with DEI

In my view Ayngaran is the LEADER when it comes movies from the south lets keep it that way

If you are looking for a partner then I would say Super Digital are the best out there for DVD mastering Hindi or Tamil

Thanks

Amazing - well done, I am looking forward to this one.

Now couple of questions

- the extras from disk 3 do they make it into the Bluray disk ?
- what is "uncut" ?
- would this be available in india ? and what region would it be in ?

once again - thank you very much, though not a big fan of this film i simply cant resist or pass the oppurtunity to see Rajinikanth @home in 1080p

HD is not anamorphic. If it were you would violate the standard.

Dear Sunny

If Sivaji is going to take time till March why dont you tell your CEO MR Karuna to release pending DVD titles like

Malaikottai Vishal
Maruthamalai Arjun
Azhagia Tamil Magan Vijay
Vel Surya
Billa Ajith

When it gets to March we talk about Sivaji Please shed some light on this.

Shruthi is more than enough for these films, may be billa deserve proper ayngaran.

I can bet that the tamil movies is going to be stand still for some more time since ppl are rejecting bad movies and our heros only "appeared" in bad movies. they are thinking what to do next. its going to be fun to (not) see all upcoming movies!
