‘Paayum Puli’ release stalled as distributors yet to recover losses incurred by 'Lingaa'

Mumbai: The Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association has decided to stall the release of ‘Paayum Puli’ which was scheduled for September 4.

The film which stars Vishal Krishna Reddy is being stalled because its producers Vendhar movies who distributed Rajinikanth-starrer ‘Lingaa’ are yet to recover the losses incurred by that film.

According to reports, only half of the promised amount has reached the distributers and North and South Arcot, Chengalpet and Trichy are yet to receive the compensation.

“If the exhibitors association doesn’t withdraw the red card immediately, the matter will be brought to the notice of Tamil Nadu state government to resolve the issue in a democratic way,” read a statement from TFPC.

'Paayum Puli', which is directed by Suseenthiran, also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Harish Uthaman and Aishwarya Dutta in important roles.
