Dhanush,
the
National
award-winning
actor
had
recently
announced
that
his
ambitious
project

getting
a
theatrical
release.
The
Mari
Selvaraj
directorial
has
been
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
in
April
2021.
However,
this
has
led
to
the
Dhanush
fans
slamming
the
makers
of
Jagame
Thandhiram,
the
actor's
another
upcoming
project
for
opting
for
an
OTT
release.
As
reported
earlier,
it
has
been
almost
confirmed
that
Jagame
Thandhiram
is
getting
released
on
Netflix,
very
soon.
The
news
has
left
the
Dhanush
fans,
who
were
eagerly
waiting
to
watch
the
Karthik
Subbaraj
directorial
on
the
big
screen,
extremely
disappointed.
The
fans
of
the
actor
and
a
group
of
netizens
are
now
basing
Y
Not
Studios,
the
banner
that
bankrolls
Jagame
Thandhiram,
for
the
decision.
Meanwhile,
Dhanush
took
to
his
official
pages
on
January
31,
Sunday
to
announce
the
theatrical
release
of
another
much-awaited
project
Karnan.
"Karnan
releases
on
April
2021
in
theatres.
A
much
needed
encouraging
news
at
the
right
time.
Thank
you
Thanu
sir
for
thinking
of
the
theatre
owners,
distributors,
exhibitors
and
everybody
who's
livelihood
is
dependant
on
films
and
theatres,
even
though
you
had
other
options.
A
big
thank
you
on
behalf
of
my
fans
as
this
means
a
lot
to
them." wrote
Dhanush
in
his
Twitter
post.
However,
this
announcement
has
led
to
Dhanush
fans
and
a
group
of
Tamil
cinema
audiences
attacking
the
makers
of
Jagame
Thandhiram
by
trending
various
hashtags
on
social
media,
including
#ShameOnUYNot.
In
the
current
situation,
the
OTT
release
announcement
of
the
Karthik
Subbaraj
directorial
might
take
a
little
longer
to
be
made.
Coming
to
Karnan,
director
Mari
Selvaraj
and
producer
Kalaipuli
S
Thanu
are
said
to
be
planning
to
release
the
Dhanush
starrer
by
the
first
half
of
April
2021,
mostly
as
a
Tamil
Puthaandu
release.
The
release
date
of
the
rural
thriller
is
expected
to
be
revealed
very
soon.
