‘Kaala’: Two theatres in Chennai to not screen the Rajinikanth starrer

Amid several issues concerning the release of the film, superstar Rajinikanth is gearing up for the much-awaited gangster drama ‘Kaala’. While the film is slated for a big release tomorrow, reports say that two popular theatres,

Udhayam

and

Kamala

, have decided not to screen ‘Kaala’ in Chennai.

Reports suggest that the distributors asked the theatre owners to sell tickets above the government pricing and hence, the theatre owners refused to the conditions and decided to screen the Hollywood film ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ instead of ‘Kaala’.

On the contrary to reports, the producers of ‘Kaala’ took to Twitter to clarify the viral news report. Wunderbar Films said, “Kamala & Udhayam theatres have not expressed their consent to the similar terms that's been agreed by other cinemas. News going around saying huge demands put forth is absolutely false & baseless.”

Earlier today, the Supreme Court refused to impose a ban on the film, stating that fans are eagerly waiting to catch the film. If reports are anything to go by, ‘Kaala’ is also expected to release in Karnataka tomorrow.

Directed by Pa Ranjith, ‘Kaala’ will see Rajinikanth playing the role of a gangster named

Kaala Karikalan

, while actor Nana Patekar will be seen as the main antagonist. Produced by Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films, the film also stars Huma Qureshi, Eswari Rao, Samuthirakani and Pankaj Tripathi in pivotal roles.
