Restriction only on tickets; not on celebrations - Sathy clarifies


First day shows are generally taken by fan clubs and public people don't get opportunity to watch the first days shows. Theatres too expressed their concern over this. So, to make public too watch first day shows, it has been decided to restrict tickets to fan clubs. And also rumours spread that Sathy banned any form of celebrations for Kuselan. This created confusion among fans as they were planning on different ways of celebrations.

To give correct picture on above issues, Thalapathy Sathy issued a press release yesterday and clarified everything.

CHENNAI: Looks like more people will have a chance to watch the first day, first show of actor Rajinikanth-starrer ‘Kuchelan,’ which is slated for release later this month.

A press release issued by K. Sathyanarayanan, manager, Rajinikanth Fans’ Association, said that only 50 per cent of the tickets that usually went to members of fan clubs would be given away for ‘Kuchelan’.

Theatre owners’ plea

The decision was taken after owners of theatres requested them to make tickets available to all film buffs, and not just members of Mr. Rajinikanth’s fan clubs, the release said.

Queried on how this would help, Abirami Ramanthan, president of the Film Theatre Owners’ Association, Chennai, told The Hindu: “We wanted more people from the general public to be able to see the film within first three days of the film’s release.”

“Earlier, almost all the tickets were purchased by fan clubs. So we requested them to consider this arrangement. Now the average film buff has a fair chance of catching the film on the day of its release,” he added.
