The upcoming political satire, LKG, is now the talk of the town ahead of its release this Friday (February 22) and also marks RJ Balaji’s debut as a hero opposite Priya Anand playing the female lead. It also marks the directorial debut of Prabhu and an interesting aspect is that RJ Balaji has written the story.
LKG has been bankrolled by Vels Film International with Leon James composing the music with the political satire also being announced for 5 AM special shows, which has now garnered quite a lot of attention.
Vishnu Vishal, who had a great 2018 with critically acclaimed Ratchasan and Silukkuvarupati Singam is at present taking rest for an injury and is expected to resume soon his next, Jagajala Killadi.
Meanwhile, Vishnu took to his Twitter handle to express his anguish that the early morning 5 AM show is losing its value while calling it a gimmick.
Soon after, RJ Balaji posted on his Twitter page saying he too was initially under the belief that the 5 AM show allotted for his LKG was a gimmick and that he had contacted the respective theatre owner for a direct confirmation, who went on to state that the film has plenty of buzz and is the main reason for it to be given the early morning show slot.
This has now led to Vishnu Vishal taking to Twitter once again, who has responded saying it is important to respect others and it is vital to give credit while also adding he isn't using people's sentiments to get success. Check out his series of tweets below:
