Kangana
Ranaut
recently
took
to
social
media
to
express
her
disappointment
over
theatres
refusing
to
screen
her
upcoming
film
Thalaivii
which
is
scheduled
to
release
on
September
10.
Reportedly,
three
national
multiplex
chains
have
decided
not
to
accomodate
this
AL
Vijay
directorial
over
the
time
gap
over
the
film's
theatrical
and
digital
release.
A
heartbroken
Kangana
took
to
her
Instagram
stories
to
urge
mutiplex
owners
to
support
each
other
and
not
bully
or
arm
twist
during
these
testing
times.
The
actress
wrote,
"No
films
are
choosing
theatres,
very
few
and
very
brave
like
my
producers
@vishnuinduri
@shaaileshrsingh
are
compromising
on
huge
profits
and
letting
go
off
exclusive
streaming
options
only
for
the
love
of
cinema."
She
continued,
"In
these
times
we
must
support
each
other
and
not
bully
or
arm
twist;
it's
our
fundamental
right
to
recover
the
cost
of
our
film
which
we
did,
we
may
have
two
weeks
window
for
Hindi
version
but
for
South
we
have
four
weeks
window
yet
multiplexes
ganging
up
on
us
and
stopping
our
release
there
as
well...This
is
unfair
and
cruel
in
these
testing
times
when
major
territories
like
Maharashtra
are
also
shut...Please
let's
help
each
other
in
order
to
save
theatres."
Meanwhile,
a
report
in
Bollywoodlife
states
that
Thalaivii
has
been
sold
two
major
OTT
platforms,
Netflix
and
Amazon
Prime
at
a
whopping
Rs
55
crore.
Amid
this,
Thalaivvii
producer
Vishnuvardhan
Induri
opened
up
on
the
maker's
disagreement
with
the
multiplex
owners
and
told
ETimes,
"This
happens.
We
are
still
negotiating
with
them,
but
we
have
to
also
make
sure
that
we
recover
our
investment.
The
theatre
owners
should
support
us
because
we
are
taking
the
risk
of
releasing
the
film
in
theatres
despite
the
fact
that
as
producers
we
have
got
returns
from
non-theatrical
platforms".
Directed
by
AL
Vijay,
Thalaivii
stars
Kangana
Ranaut,
Arvind
Swamy,
Bhagyashree,
Madhoo
amongst
others
in
pivotal
roles.
The
biopic
based
on
the
life
of
late
Tamil
Nadu
Chief
Minister
Jayalalithaa,
is
slated
to
release
in
Hindi,
Tamil
and
Telugu.
