Many netizens expressed their outrage and mocked the theatre management for practicing untouchability and denying entry to the commoners despite having their tickets paid for.
However, the statement did little to placate the angry public who pointed out that the U/A rating meant that children could watch the movie with parental guidance.
In addition, they also demanded that the producers shouldn't say anything about when the movie will premiere or which online streaming service bought the rights to it.
The censor board gave Thunivu a UA rating and a runtime of 2 hours and 26 minutes, while Vijay starrer Varisu, has a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes. The CBFC board recently gave it a U rating.
The film Connect is slated to hit the theaters on the 22nd of December, and the makers have confirmed that there is no intermission for this 99-minute film.
