Film Industry is going through a worst phase due to Corona Virus that led to nationwide lockdown. Several films which were ready for release have been on hold from last month. Now the situations are not in favour of Theaters and public entertainment places as it would lead to Corona spread. Producers of small and medium budget movies are thus looking for direct OTT release.
Recently, Amazon Prime has made a deal with Suriya- who produced Tamil film 'Ponmagal Vandhal' on 2D Entertainment banner- for the direct OTT release on its platform. The film starring Jyothika was scheduled to release in theaters on 27th March but the lockdown didn't allow its scheduled theatrical release.
Now, the theater owners association of Tamil Nadu has condemned decision of Suriya and has decided not to not allow the release of the star's films in their Theaters. Even the Kerala State Theaters Associaton also banned the release of Suriya's films in Theaters. Let's see how thie feud turns for the maverick actor.
Earlier, To rescue Suriya and other small-medium films, 30 leading producers of Kollywood came forward and issued a joint statement in support of OTT release.
They also have stressed that a producer who has invested all his money has the every right to exploit the film in every possible way to recover his budget. The producers council also made an appeal to various associations to not interfere in an individual's decision.
