And do you think Sun will make that move to make good for other channels? What will sun gain from it. They will withdraw small budget movies that can be understood but will they do the same
No they never took big budget tamil movies including Digital rights in recent years. What they have in recent years are Sarkar & Petta digital which are own production movies. And in telugu also they only took Ala Vaikuntapuram lo digital in last 2yrs among big stars/big budget movies.
According to some reports from credible sources SUN TV has paused buying satellite rights of new flims for this year in tamil because they already invested 175crs for 36 films (excluding there own production), and due to covid19 those movies not released or completed, so paused buying new movies for the time being.
Soorarai Pottru is confirmed with Sun they're not withdrawing rights. They are planning to premiere on Pongal
They are planning mostly air movies like Bhoomi, Mookuthi Amman on TV directly
