Govt ‘no’ to pre-dawn shows for Bigil

Deccan Chronicle  

Chennai: It seems a case of ‘no love lost’ between the subaltern Tamil film hero Vijay and the AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu, as the actor's latest film, Bigil is due for release on ‘Deepavali’ eve amid huge fans expectations. While the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association president Tirupur Subramanian had sought the government’s permission to allow early morning shows of Bigil, at 3 am, for the first three days of its release as an added bonus to the stars’ excited fans, the government rejected the proposal, but strangely with a rider. State Information minister, Mr Kadambur Raju said at Kovilpatti on Tuesday that the Government has not given permission for special early morning screening of any film so far. However, in an apparent afterthought — as the Government’s negative stance against a popular hero could turn counter-productive as it did with Vijay’s earlier film, Mersal, the minister said the State could consider the Theatre Owners plea for special pre-dawn screening of Bigil in cinema houses if they gave an undertaking that they will not charge premium rates for tickets for such shows.
