Producers support OTT release of Jyotika’s Ponmagal Vandhal

CHENNAI: As many as 30 producers from Tamil Film Producers’ Council on Sunday issued a statement backing the move of actor Suriya’s production house, 2D Entertainment, to release Jyotika-starrer Ponmagal Vandhal on Amazon Prime. The statement comes a day after theatre owners threatened a ban on theatre release of any film involving Suriya or his production house.

The film had targeted a theatrical release on March 27. However, with theatres remaining closed for the sixth week due to lockdown, it was recently announced that the film would be getting a direct OTT (over the top) release on Amazon Prime.
