Actor Vijay has released statement thanking the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister for initiating action such that it is a retort to rumors about the movie ‘Thalaivaa’ which made rounds in the media.  
 

Here is statement by Vijay’s PRO PT Selvakumar.  

‘Tamil movie ‘Thalaivaa’ is releasing in Tamil Nadu the coming August 20th.  Vijay has released statement thanking the Chief Minister.  Tamil movie ‘Thalaivaa’, which should have hit screens on August 9th has not released due to certain threats.  

There has been a mental stress for me, the producer, distributors and theatre owners for the last ten days.  

Honorable Chief Minister has intervened in the issue such that it is a proper retort to rumors making rounds in the media.  Also, the Chief Minister has initiated action for the movie to be released.  

I convey my gratitude to Chief Minister who has amicably settled the issue although she was busy with other schedules.  

I convey my gratitude to fans and Tamil people who have been patient and I kindly request fans to watch the movie with family.’
