I doubt Shubham bro . Check this :


Actor Kamal Haasan has given the final touches to his controversial plan to release his upcoming movie 'Vishwaroopam' on the direct-to-home platform, notwithstanding some dissenting theatre owners, by inking pacts with all top DTH providers except Tata Sky.

So, Sun DTH, Dish TV, Airtel DTH, Videocon DTH and Reliance's Big DTH will offer subscribers the Tamil version of the actor's movie at 9.30 pm on January 10, though the theatrical release would only happen the following morning.

"I'm happy to be part of this innovative initiative which is the first of its kind in India. We couldn't rope in Tata Sky as we were running short of time," said Haasan.

The move to launch the movie on DTH, the first time for a big movie in India, has been criticised by some theatre owners in Tamil Nadu, who have threatened to boycott the film. They fear the format will eat into their business and also lead to pirated versions of the movie.

He added that the earlier discussions with the company failed since it did not agree to some of the conditions put forward by Haasan. Haasan wanted the DTH player to disable its private video recorder facility and block commercial customers from accessing the one-time show.

“They did not agree with it while the other DTH companies did. After several meetings, Tata Sky informed me that they are also ready to air the movie, agreeing to comply with the demands,” he said.

So, this was the reason Tata Sky lagged behind. :thinking:
