Length becomes an issue!

Cheran�s Thavamai Thavamirunthu (TT) has run into problem with theatres mainly in NSC area complaining that they find it to be too lengthy! TT is 3 hours 22 minutes and they requested Cheran to trim the film in the second half to make it crisp, which the director has plainly refused.

But what made them fret and fume is that, Cheran has sent a letter to all theatres screening TT that legal action will be taken if any of them tries to trim the film without his consent! Cheran points out that by unauthorised cutting of scenes; the theatres will be damaging the product and causing great harm to his reputation as a director of good cinema.

TT is close to PMK, whose stronghold is NSC area. The exhibitors point out that due to the length of the film, it is difficult for them to do four shows a day but Cheran says that TT has been made with a lot of passion and care theatres should encourage good cinema and not see everything in monetary terms.
