Theatre Faces Abuse from Vijay Fans for Choosing 'Parasakthi' Over 'Jana Nayagan'

  • Vasu Cinemas in Kumbakonam faced online abuse from Vijay fans for choosing to screen Sivakarthikeyan’s 'Parasakthi' instead of Vijay’s 'Jana Nayagan' for Pongal.
  • The theatre management explained their decision, stating they have screened Vijay's films for 15+ years, except a few, and respect him.
  • They described the online comments on X and Instagram as "shocking," "vulgarity and curses" that disturbed their mental peace.
  • 'Jana Nayagan' is Vijay’s final film before entering politics with his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party, releasing January 9.
  • 'Parasakthi' starring Sivakarthikeyan releases January 10, setting up a Pongal box office clash.
