Breaking News : Radhe Shyam pulls out - Valimai to follow ?

Radhe Shyam producers UV creations has officially announced that due to Covid 19, there will be no release on Jan 14th all over India. US distributors were informed of this before hand. Now as Tamil Nadu Government official heads are in a meeting with TN CM Stalin . post Jan 10th restrictions will be made public. Till yesterday, Health officials were of the view that no total lockdown is needed as five day Pongal festivities was the time when retail biz saw a boom and instead strict enforcement of wearing masks and restrictions on customers entering malls and shops be enforced. Night curfew time be changed from 12 midnight to 7 PM - 5 AM was another suggestion. Schools till Std 8th are closed. Now classes from 9th - 12th and colleges might be shut.

With doubling of cases in Chennai and Coimbatore, total lockdown might come in. Health secretary was quoted saying that merchants were not implementing Covid restrictions and nor the citizens. In view of this places like cinema halls would  turn into clusters/ Valimai release would trigger a mass rush due to Ajith's fans who have been waiting for this film since the start of Covid first wave. Controlling them would be near impossible, especially in single screens in rural areas. Unlike Radhe Shyam, Valimai cost can be recovered from Tamil Nadu theatrical and profit from OTT- digital dubbing rights- satellite. All eyes are on Stalin ministry's future move.
