D Suresh Babu complained about the damage being done to Cinema with the latest trend of screening of new films on digital media platforms such as Amazon and Netflix within one month after the release. He brings the version, 'Film Lovers won't have the compulsion to come to theaters if new releases were streamed online within four weeks. This trend ruins the movie-watching experience'.

Making it true, Karthi and Rakul Preet Singh-starrer 'Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru' (Khakee in Telugu) appeared on Amazon Prime Video platform within one month after its theatrical release (November 17th). This Cop Drama based on the notorious Dacoit Gang was raved by critics as one of the best films of 2017 and also as one of the best Cop Dramas ever made in South India. It's still running in few theaters across Tamil Nadu and Telugu States.

To make quick bucks capitalizing on the success, Producer SR Prabhu sold the digital rights of 'Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru' to Amazon. Eventually, The film featured on Amazon Prime Video even before the end of its theatrical run. This situation led to a debate whether its right to encourage such a trend. The worst fear (Simultaneous Theatrical and Digital Release) expressed by Suresh Babu might come true one day if this doesn't stop!
