Thalaivii, starring Kangana Ranaut, is among the most frequently discussed movies of the year. The film is a much-anticipated biopic of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, and Kangana Ranaut will portray the renowned politico. And, despite the fact that the filmmakers are planning a big release for Thalaivii on September 10, multiplex owners have refused to show the movie. And so now Kangana has chosen to speak out about the situation, expressing her displeasure with theatres that are “teaming up against Thalaivii.”
Kangana Ranaut said in a video posted on her Instagram account that even though the makers of Thalaivii chose a cinema release to help the theater chains, the theater chains are no longer willing to show the film. “The pandemic has taken a toll on several businesses including the theatres business. However, there have been streaming and digital platforms that witnessed a boom in recent times. The producers of our film Thalaivii Vishnuvardhan Induri and Shailesh R. Singh took a decisive decision that we will be supporting the theatres that run several households and turned down several exclusive digital streaming offers for the movie. But little did we know that the theatres will not be supporting us for Thalaivii release,” the actress stated in the video.
Check out the IGTV video shared by the actress Kangana Ranaut:
Kangana elaborated on the situation, saying, “In Hindi, in order to make up to the cost of production, we have got a window of 2 weeks which theatres are not accepting. We still understand the situation for theatre owners in Hindi. But in South India, as our film is made in 3 languages, we kept a window of 4 weeks. However, the multiplexes aren’t releasing our film there as well citing excuses of big production houses. I want to ask them that while they are destroying the individual producers under the influence of big production houses but what if the shows are cancelled due to a low footfall in theatres, will their contracts with the production houses be valid? I think gangism and groupism shouldn’t be there now and theatre and multiplex owners should think of bringing the audience to theatres”.
Besides Kangana Ranaut, Arvind Swamy will join the cast of the movie ‘Thalaivii,’ which will be released in multiple lingo such as Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
