Thalapathy Vijay The ‘Jana Nayagan’ starrer was launched with much fanfare in many places, but the release of the film hit an unexpected glitch in Pondicherry. Fans looking forward to the first screening were disappointed by the cancellation of the highly anticipated morning specials scheduled for Thursday in many theaters. The decision was made just hours before the shows were supposed to start, leaving many moviegoers waiting outside theaters for updates.
Ticket allocation issue: lead to the cancellation of special screenings
As reported by News 18, around 13 theaters in Pondicherry have scheduled the screening of ‘Jana Nayagan,’ and permission has been given for special shows at 7 am in some theatres. But morning screenings were reportedly canceled due to ticket distribution lines. Theater owners are said to be facing difficulties in issuing tickets to the general public as fan groups seek a larger share of available seats. With no clear solution before showtime, some theaters decided to cancel special screenings rather than continue with limited public access.
‘Jana Nayagan’ overcame months of delay before release
The cancellation comes after ‘Jana Nayagan’ is already facing a long and difficult journey in theatres. The Vijay-starrer was initially planned for a Pongal release but was postponed following certification issues. The film also faced a major blow when it was leaked on the internet months before its scheduled release in theaters, putting its future in doubt. The makers overcame these challenges, completed the legal process, and released the film in theaters amidst huge expectations from fans in Tamil Nadu and neighboring areas.
