Vijay is one of the most powerful actors in the South, and his movies have been making regular achievements at the box office. Not only new releases, re-releases of Vijay's films have also been earning massive numbers at the box office. A popular theatre in Chennai announced the re-release of Vijay's films 'Kaththi and 'Mersal' on their screens for the weekend, and both films received better occupancy in pre-bookings. The reservations for 'Kaththi' and 'Mersal' looked better than a few new releases as fans geared up to re-watch Vijay's classic films. But the theatre management decided to postpone the re-release of 'Kaththi' and 'Mersal' for reasons unknown. Ultimately, this announcement has disappointed fans.
The postponement of the 'Kaththi' and 'Mersal' re-release stirred up the social media debate, and fans are trolling the distribution partner of a new release for preventing the re-release of Vijay's films.
Directed by AR Murugadoss, 'Kaththi' features Vijay in a dual role, and the social drama sends a message on the importance of water.
