Toxic Release Looming: Show-Sharing Standoff in AP-Telangana
25 Aug
Summary
- Toxic's release tomorrow faces uncertainty due to ongoing booking issues.
- Show-sharing dispute between Toxic and Irumudi distributors in Andhra Pradesh-Telangana.
- Irumudi shows strong performance, complicating Toxic's planned extensive screening.
As the highly anticipated film Toxic prepares for its release tomorrow, August 26, a significant hurdle has emerged in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Advance bookings have yet to open in these key territories, stemming from a show-sharing dispute between the distributors of Toxic and the currently dominating Ravi Teja-starrer, Irumudi.
Distributors of Irumudi, enjoying a strong box office run with nearly ₹51 crores in four days, are insisting on adequate screenings for their film. Conversely, Toxic's distributors are reportedly demanding all single-screen shows and a substantial portion of multiplex screenings, citing high audience excitement.
This conflict has left the show plans for both films for the release day undecided. Industry insiders are working towards a resolution, with revised show plans and bookings expected within the next few hours, aiming to de-escalate the situation before Toxic's premiere.
