The order has come as a shock to the fans and the theatres as the exhibitors have already planned to screen early morning shows to have a good fill in the coffers and to manage the influx of the fans.
The most recent social media sensation involves a special screening of Thunivu, which Shaalini, the actress wife of Ajith, attended with her daughter Anoushka.
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.
Began with a power punch dialogue from the ultimate star, when Prem asks, "Aren't you ashamed to steal people's money?", and his short but power reply "No" grips in the start.
