STR fans have predictably given the film a big Thumbs Up on twitter. The fans who came to movie hall at 4 AM and burst crackers and danced in front of STR cutouts soon got tired as the show timings got pushed further and finally it was announced that the fan shows were cancelled. Irate fans were seen abusing Producer Cool Suresh.

By yesterday noon, Producer Suresh Kamatchi tweeted that Maanaadu would not release on Friday. He cited unavoidable reasons. The reason was that he  had to pay the financier the money that he borrowed. He asked the finanacier to wait till he tied up the TV and digital rights. Star Vijay who after the previous Eeasawaran experience, was willing to pay the amount after seeing the public response. Financier was not willing to wait and finally Udhaynidhi Stalin, stepped in and clinched the TV rights for reportedly Rs 6 crores. SonyLiv bought the Digital rights for Rs 3 crores and Ishari Ganesh of Vels International who is producer of STR- Menon under production film chipped in with another Rs 3 crores. Financier gave the green signal.

Dr Ishari Ganesh - TR and wife Usha ( parents of STR) were said to have taken the lead to rope in Udhaynidhi. Delay in bank transactions from  Sony LIV is said to have led to fan shows being cancelled.
