With Vijay’s Mersal all set to hit screens tomorrow (October 18, 2017), there seems to be a high level of excitement for the big Diwali release. However, it is to be noted that certain multiplex theatres in Chennai have decided to not go with the new Diwali releases and are against double taxation. They had closed down since October 3, 2017 and it seems likely that they would not open for Diwali as well. A representative of Inox Theatres Chennai told us:
“No, we will not be releasing Vijay’s Mersal or any of the films. We are on an indefinite strike and none of the new films or any film will be played at our Inox theatres.”
Likewise, it is very likely that all the PVR cinema branches of Chennai will also remain shut for this year’s Diwali.
