“However, it is with deep concern that we inform you that our theatre screen was damaged yesterday due to unacceptable behaviour inside the premises. While celebrations are welcome, damaging the theatre screen or any theatre property is strictly unacceptable. Such incidents lead to show disruptions, financial loss, and inconvenience to fellow moviegoers," the note further added.
They concluded the note by writing, “NO MORE mashups & ‘Once More’ celebrations during the Mankatha re-release. Cinema is an emotion; respect is a responsibility…”
Ajith Kumar fans beat Vijay’s fan
In another incident, Ajith Kumar fans allegedly beat up a Thalapathy Vijay fan at the screening after the person was spotted with a flag of the Tamil star's political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). After a while, the mob tore his shirt off and shoved him out of the theatre as others cheered. Due to their massive popularity, the stars are often pitted against each other, resulting in nasty fan wars.
