Vijay calls off audio launch of his film due to Jaya's demise

Tamil star Vijay has called off the audio launch function of his next venture, 'Bhairavaa,' on account of the death of former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, the movie's producers said today.
Producers B Venkatrama Reddy and B Bharathy Reddy of Vijaya Productions said plans were afoot to have a grand audio launch for the Vijay-Keerthi Suresh starrer but it was cancelled following Jayalalithaa's death, who was like a "member" of their family.
"Vijay had also asked us not to hold a grand audio launch for the same reason. Therefore we are releasing the songs directly across the globe on December 23," they said.

Further, Jayalalithaa, a yesteryear star, had acted in their company's 'Namnaadu,' also starring her mentor and matinee idol MG Ramachandran, they recalled.
"We respected her as a member of the family. Therefore, we called off the audio launch," the producers said in a statement.
'Bhairavaa', which has musical score by Santosh Narayanan of 'Kabali' fame, is slated for a January 2017 release.
