At the recent audio-launch of Shankar's 'Eeram', directed by Arivazhagan and starring Nanda, Adhi and Sindhu Menon, the surprising VIP on dais was Hansraj Saxena, the executive head of Sun Network. As Saxena sat listening to speakers praising the film's content and the way it has been made, he developed a liking towards the film.

When his turn to speak came, Saxena openly declared that "We would like to take up the distributorship of 'Eeram'. I am placing a request to Shankar Sir to consider giving the releasing rights to Sun Pictures. I expect some good news in the near future!" When Saxena made his offer-cum-request on stage smiling at Shankar, the latter smiled back but hasn't yet replied till date.

More than a week since the audio release, Sun Pictures, which produces Shankar's Rajni-starrer 'Enthiran: The Robot', hasn't yet heard from Shankar on 'Eeram'. Shankar reportedly wants to release films produced under his banner on his own so that the loss or profit doesn't affect the other party that takes up the distributorship.

Sun Pictures, however, keeps their finger crossed and is waiting with hope!
