Released on the 4th of October, Trisha and Vijay Sethupathy’s coming-of-age Tamil romantic drama, 96, went on to become a huge blockbuster. The film is still having a steady run at theaters across Tamil Nadu.
But much to everyone’s surprise, a popular Tamil entertainment channel, which acquired 96’s satellite rights, today announced that the film will be premiered on their channel on November 6, as a Diwali special treat. This seems to have disappointed Trisha.
The star actress took to Twitter and appealed to the TV channel against premiering her film while it’s still having a decent run. Trisha tweeted, “Its our 5th week and we still have an 80% occupancy in all theatres.We as a team feel its unfair to be premiering 96 this early. Its our request to push it to a Pongal viewing pls @SunTV Will be grateful #96thefilm #Ban96MoviePremierOnSunTv.”
