The
issue
first
came
to
light
when

"Manto

That
is
what
Mall
of
India
folks
from
PVR
Cinemas
are
telling
me
as
they
refuse
to
give
me
show
tickets.
Many
others
being
refused.
They
say
distributor
issues.
Happening
all
over
India
it
seems."

the
condition

are
cancelled
all
over

saying,
"This
is

I
just
got
a
similar

from
a

She
further
tweeted,
"Hugely

6
years
of

intent
&
commitment
was
to

its
culmination
this
morning.

not
stop!"
While
no
reason
was
given
as
to
why
the
morning
shows
of
Manto

that
the
shows
got
