Kamal Haasan’s upcoming Vishwaroopam’s DTH premiere will be aired on Tata Sky too along with 5 other DTH providers as confirmed earlier. It will now be aired on Videocon, Airtel, Dish TV, Big TV, Sun Direct and Tata Sky. The premiere will be on January 10 at 9.30 pm, a day before its theatrical release on January 11. The premiere will be for Rs.1000 on the Pay-per-view service, and will be encrypted, so as not to be recordable.

Though the theatre owners in Tamil Nadu decided to boycott the movie as they felt it would affect their revenue, over 400 theatres have come forward and showed interest in screening the movie. Vishwaroopam has been made on a high budget of 95 crores, and has been written, directed and produced by Kamal Haasan himself. He plays the lead, along with Pooja Kumar and Andreah.
