Bengaluru's Victory Cinema refuses screening of CM Vijay's Jana Nayagan over disagreements with its producers, KVN Productions

In an official statement on their Instagram, the theatre house stated that the terms requested by KVN Productions differed from the standard practices extended to other distributors

They wrote, "Thalapathy Vijay's 'JANA NAYAGAN' is not being screened at Victory Cinema. We know many of you were waiting to watch this film with us, and we were equally keen to bring it to our screen. Victory Cinema was ready to screen 'JANA NAYAGAN' on the same terms that we and theatres across the industry extend to every distributor, big or small."

"Unfortunately, the terms sought by the producer, KVN Productions, were different from these regular terms, and despite our best efforts, an agreement could not be reached. This was a difficult decision, made only after every effort to find common ground," they added.

Victory Cinema also extended its best wishes to the makers of Jana Nayagan for the success of the film.

"We sincerely wish 'JANA NAYAGAN' and Thalapathy Vijay great success at the box office. To our patrons, thank you for your unwavering love. We will continue to bring you the best of cinema," concluded Victory Cinema.
