Though the individuals salaries have gone up, the box office collections are not so good.   Chennai, Chengalpattu and Kanchipuram Distributors Council President Kalaipuli G Sekaran while speaking said,” That out of 131 films released last year, only films Ayan, Nadodigal and Padikadhavan were successful. Films like Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, Maayandi Kudumbathar, Siva Manasula Sakthi, Peranmai and Pasanga just recovered the money they had invested. All the other films were utter flops.”
