Suriya in trouble after Ponmagal Vandhal gets a direct OTT release!

Earlier in the day, we had reported that Jyothika starrer ‘Ponmagal Vanthal’ is gearing up to be the first mainstream Tamil film to be released directly in OTT platforms. Suriya’s 2D Entertainment is producing the film. Amazon Prime has reportedly acquired the streaming rights for Rs 9 crores and the film is set premiere from the first week of May.

However, the decision to have a direct OTT release has not gone well with the theatre owners in Tamil Nadu. The General Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Theatre and Multiplex Owners Association, R Panneer Selvam, has announced that their association has decided to not release any film involving actor Suriya or his home production banner 2D Entertainment hereafter.

kollywood medias report that the theatre owners association in Tamil Nadu are planning to go ahead with an unofficial ban of films that Suriya is associated with. In that case, the release of the his much awaited film ‘Soorarai Pottru’ might all get into trouble.
