Soorarai Pottru Release In Trouble? Theatre Owners Association Decides Not To Screen 2D Movies?
The Coronavirus pandemic, and the eventual lockdown, is literally becoming a headache for the entertainment world, in one way or the other. Well, Kollywood is no different as the shoot and release of various Tamil movies have been halted for now. The makers are eagerly waiting for the situation to get back to normal, to resume the process. Few makers have also been discussing with the video streaming platforms to stream their movies directly online, skipping the theatrical release.
Suriya's recent production venture, Ponmagal Vandhal, starring Jyothika, Bhagyaraj, Pandiarajan, and Pratap Pothen has made its direct OTT entry without the theatrical release. It is said that the exclusive online streaming has irked the Theatre Owners Association, which thinks that the other producers might also follow suit. Looks like Suriya will have to face the music, as the association has decided not to screen any 2D movies in their theatres in the future. This comes to show, as Suriya's Soorarai Pottru is awaiting the release after the lockdown ends. Being a big star of Kollywood, not releasing the film might hugely affect the theatre owners. Well, we will have to wait and watch if the association ends their indirect war with the actor.
