Leo makers are needlessly causing conflicts between the government and Cinema. It is widely known that Thalapathy Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s upcoming action thriller Leo is all set to be released in theaters on October 19th worldwide. For a few days, there have been a few issues going on between the TN Government and the makers of Leo. Looking at the proceedings, it can be said that the Leo makers needlessly caused conflicts between the government and Cinema.
The TN Government had passed a GO a long back which stated that the movie FDFS shows in the state should start from 9 AM only for all the movies on non holidays. So now all the movies are screening at 9 AM only and even the big recent film, Jailer also started at 9 AM only.
The team of Leo requested the government to grant early morning shows for 4 e and 7 AM, but the government denied that but granted an extra show so that the film can be screened 5 shows.
The Leo team now went to court against the government, which is creating rifts between the government and Cinema. If the government is reducing the ticket prices or reducing the shows or targeting only one particular film or hero, then you can fight against them, but if they are not doing anything of such kind and treating every one as the same, then fighting against them is unnecessary.
Yes, the government had made a mistake by putting the timings for 5 shows between 9 AM to 1:30 AM, so the time gap between these is 16 hours 30 minutes, which means practically not possible to screen 5 shows, so they can request the government to allow one more extra hour which allows them to screen 5 shows then may be the government consider that but going directly to the court was a wrong decision by the Leo makers.
On social media, a few netizens are comparing this situation with the AP Government’s involvement in Telugu cinema, but that was thoroughly different as they targeted one particular hero and here in the TN Government is treating everyone as the same. So the Leo makers should stop needlessly causing conflicts between the government and Cinema and should solve the problem amicably.
