Chiyaan Vikram’s much-anticipated Tamil action thriller Veera Dheera Sooran was set to hit theaters on March 27, but last-minute legal hurdles have led to unexpected delays. The film’s USA premiere was canceled, and early morning screenings in India were put on hold due to a legal dispute.
Legal Dispute Delays Release
According to Times Now, the multiplex chains PVR and Cinepolis will not screen Veera Dheera Sooran before 10 AM. The delay is a result of legal action taken by Mumbai-based production company B4U, which alleged a breach of contract regarding the film’s OTT rights. The company claims that the rights were supposed to be sold before the theatrical release.
In response, the Delhi High Court issued an interim stay on the film’s release until 10:30 AM. Since the first show was scheduled for 9 AM, the order led to the cancellation of early screenings. Now, the film is expected to start playing in theaters only after 11 AM.
USA Premiere Show Canceled
Meanwhile, 123Telugu has reported that Veera Dheera Sooran’s premiere shows in the USA have been canceled. This development has left both exhibitors and fans disappointed. Producer Riya Shibu is currently in Delhi working to resolve the legal complications, with expectations that the issue will be settled in a few hours.
Fan Disappointment and Pre-Release Concerns
Chiyaan Vikram’s fans were already concerned about the film’s weak pre-release buzz. Despite promotional efforts, the movie struggled to build strong anticipation. The latest legal troubles have only added to the worries, making the release more challenging.
