Though there are indications that ME is ready for release at any time with post-production tasks being completed, STR has made some last minute hitches for Osthi. It seems he is not personally happy over the flow of the shooting as a song sequence is still to be completed.

Parthiban is making some news that his Vithagan may visit the screens anytime in November. Hence the stardom is carried over to November once the theatres show way to the Deepavali releases.
