Popular Tamil star Vijay's new film, Kaththi, ("knife") was billed as a huge Diwali release. But there's uncertainty about whether it will keep its date with Tamil Nadu.
Late on Monday night, a popular cinema in Chennai was targeted by a group that broke glass windows and threw crude kerosene bombs at the lobby and the ticket-booking booth. The Satyam Multiplex was crowded with people watching night shows, but fortunately, nobody was injured.
Tickets for the film are meant to go on sale in cinemas today. But a senior member of the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners' Association said, "There is no way we would screen this film...we can't take any risk. We would take a call after a meeting this afternoon."
Police and cinema officials are not commenting on whether last night's attack was captured by security cameras. Nobody has been arrested so far.
