Thalapathy Vijay Starrer ‘Jana Nayagan’ was launched to huge audiences in several places, but the release of the film caused an unexpected stir in Pondicherry. Fans who were waiting for the premiere were disappointed with the cancellation of the special morning shows that were expected on Thursday in several theaters. The decision was made a few hours before the shows were to start, leaving many moviegoers waiting outside cinema halls for the change.
Ticket distribution issue results in the cancellation of special displays
According to News 18, around 13 theaters in Pondicherry have scheduled screenings of ‘Jana Nayagan,’ and permission has been given for special shows at 7 o’clock in some theatres. But the morning screenings were reportedly canceled due to ticket distribution queues. Theater owners say they have faced difficulties in providing tickets to the general public as theater groups seek more space for the available seats. Since there was no clear answer before the time of the show, some theaters decided to leave the special shows instead of limited attendance.
