Screenings of Jana Nayagan halted in Chennai over minors watching A-rated Vijay film; arguments break out
Screenings of Jana Nayagan at PVR AMPA Mall, Chennai were halted for nearly an hour because parents brought minors to the A-rated film.
Arguments broke out between parents and theatre management over not allowing children into the show, resolved only after a refund was promised.
Police intervened at both PVR AMPA Mall and Palavaram PVR Grand to manage disputes over refunds for those with minors.
The CBFC's A-rating for Jana Nayagan prohibits minors from watching, and theatres risk license cancellation if rules are violated.
Videos on social media show numerous people with children at box office counters seeking refunds for the halted screenings.
