In a surprising turn of events, Tamil actor Vasanth Ravi expressed his dismay after discovering that his latest film, ‘Pon Ondru Kanden’, would be bypassing a theatrical or OTT release and heading straight to a television premiere. The revelation came through a social media announcement by a satellite TV channel, leaving Ravi and the film’s cast and crew completely unaware of the decision.
Ravi, who has seen recent success with films like ‘Rocky’ and ‘Jailer’, took to social media to voice his frustration, particularly targeting the production house, Jio Studios, for their lack of communication regarding the matter. The actor expressed disappointment at not being informed directly about the change in release plans, emphasizing the hard work and dedication put into the project by the entire team.
In a statement, Ravi highlighted the importance of respecting the efforts of creators and artists, urging for better communication and transparency in such decisions. Despite the announcement of the TV premiere, the specific date for the release of ‘Pon Ondru Kanden’ is yet to be disclosed by the channel.
