Hitting
the
theatres
like
a
storm
today,
Kangana
Ranaut
starrer
Thalaivii
has
opted
for
a
brave
move
with
the
theatrical
release,
despite
lockdown
in
many
states.
Minting
over
85
crores
of
the
film
with
satellite,
digital
and
music
rights,
Thalaivii
has
recovered
a
huge
amount
even
before
the
theatrical
release,
Kangana
Ranaut
took
to
her
social
media
to
announce
the
same.
Releasing
in
750-800
theatres
in
the
South,
from
Andhra
Pradesh,
Telangana
and
Karnataka
to
Tamil
Nadu,
as
Kerela
is
shut
down,
Thalaivii
has
been
garnering
love
from
across
quarters.
Revealing
details
about
the
digital
deal,
Producer
Vishnu
Vardhan
Induri
stated
the
reason
for
a
theatrical
release
saying,
"₹55crore
is
a
small
amount.
I
had
fancy
offers
which
would
have
seen
me
sitting
on
tonnes
of
money.
But
my
intention
was
to
give
this
film
a
theatrical
experience.
It’s
done
with
so
much
passion
and
love,
we
want
people
to
experience
it
first
in
theatre.
I
don’t
want
to
go
in
to
details,
but
we
have
recovered
our
investments.
If
the
release
of
the
film
had
been
delayed,
I
would
have
lost
my
money
-
That’s
the
reason
I
opted
for
theatrical
release
now."
Talking
about
the
long-standing
debate
of
the
multiplex
owners
and
the
film
team
over
release
of
the
Hindi
version,
Vishnu
said,
"We
have
made
a
great
film.
We
want
to
show
it
to
everyone
across
the
country.
Some
parts
of
the
Northern
belt
are
still
closed
and
a
theatrical
release
all
over
does
not
make
business
sense.
I’ve
gone
to
the
theatre
only
because
of
the
love
for
the
film
and
the
audiences,
but
at
the
same
time
I
do
not
want
to
make
a
commercially
stupid
move.
I
would
have
been
open
a
4-Week
deal
with
multiplexes
if
Maharashtra
had
been
open.
If
night
shows
are
closed
in
many
places,
then
a
4-week
window
does
not
make
business
sense.
As
a
producer,
I
need
to
safeguard
my
investments;
only
then
will
I
be
able
to
make
more
good
movies.
If
I
don’t
recover
my
investment,
I
will
suffer.
I
have
recovered
the
amount
from
non-theatrical
deals
that
I
have
done."
