Kamal Haasan’s film “Thug Life” is set to release on June 5. But theaters in Bengaluru are facing trouble. They’ve approached the Karnataka High Court, seeking permission to screen the film. The theaters are worried about potential damage to their property if they show the movie.
A theater chain has asked the court to let them join the case as a party. They say they’ve been entertaining people for decades. The theaters claim they’ve received threats that their property will be harmed if they release the film.
The theaters want the court to allow them to screen “Thug Life” on June 5. They’re also asking for police protection during the film’s release. If the screening is delayed, they fear financial losses. They’re concerned that pirated copies of the film will be shared online, reducing legitimate ticket sales.
“Thug Life” is a gangster drama film directed by Mani Ratnam. The movie features Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan, Ali Fazal, Nassar, Abhirami, Ashok Selvan, and Trisha Krishnan. Kamal Haasan has also co-written the film.
The Karnataka High Court has put a temporary hold on the film’s release in the state. The court will hear the case again soon. The theaters are hoping for a favorable decision so they can screen the film without any issues.
