4th Union

This will be a crucial film for AR Murugadoss, who has come under severe attack from producers and distributors after his recent film Darbar with Rajinikanth and Nayanthara bombed at the box office. He was slammed for his poorly-written story and making a film with excessive budget.
A few distributors had demanded him to pay compensation for the losses incured due to the poor performance of Darbar. He has filed a complaint against them and there was subsequent arrest made by the cops.
Later, he took back the complaint, but the industry biggies were upset with AR Murugadoss. His success rate also came under question and there was a belief among the fans whether he was losing his midas touch.
Coming to Vijay, he is currently busy with Lokesh Kanagaraj's Master. The film is scheduled for release on 9 April.
