Why Was Karthi was Thrown Out of Theatre?

Recall how Karthi, who starred in Ponniyin Selvan 1, described getting ejected from a theatre after viewing the Bollywood movie Rangeela.

Do you know that Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 2 star and South superstar Karthi was once ejected from a theatre? We didn’t either till we came across his old quote from when he related a fascinating story from his life. The actor is a well-known figure in the Telugu film industry and has a sizable fan base.

He worked with the talented filmmaker Mani Ratnam on the first installment, and in the sequel, he played Vanthiyathevan. The actor recounted a time when he was shown a theater’s exit doors during a media interview last year to promote PS 1.

Karthi recalled the incident of being shown the departure doors while watching Rangeela’s “Tanha Tanha” inside the theatre during his media interview in 2022. I saw a lot of Hindi films throughout my undergraduate years, he informed the journalists. I still distinctly recall Rangeela from 1995. To see Tanha Tanha, we went there. As we entered the theatre, we were rushing. We had to be removed. However, we obtained tickets for the upcoming performances, and that is how we returned inside.

Karthi previously acknowledged films like “Baahubali” and “KGF” for opening the path for films to be presented in a significant way during the release of Ponniyin Selvan 1. I think it has a lot to do with the development and technology and the era we are living in, he had previously told IANS. It was difficult in the past to imagine making a movie like this in a regional language, but films like “Baahubali” and “KGF” paved the door for massive blockbusters to be shown to larger film markets and viewers.
