In Kerala the confusion that has arisen over
an agreement between film chambers and 48
theatre owners is expected to create trouble
in the release of Rajni's Sivaji. In Kerala
the film chamber and theatre owners from 48
screens across the state have entered into
a pact. According to this the producer of
a film will be supported to a certain level
financially by theatre owners and in return
the producer will screen his movie only in
these 48 theatres.
In case the film flops, the incurred loss to the theatre
owner will be adjusted in the subsequent films of the
producer.
In this present scenario the Kerala film chamber has decided
to release Sivaji in more than these 48 theatres which
has annoyed the theatre owners. They insist that Sivaji
should only be released in their screens as per their
agreement. But the film chamber counters this argument
by stating that the presiding rule applies only to Malayalam
films and does not hold good for films from other languages.
