Baahubali - The Beginning (Telugu) (U/A): Book Your Tickets Right Away! Like most of the theatres across India, Tamil has been successfully screening Baahubali since its release and has also been minting money,
thanks to the mountainous success of the film. But the last couple of days, serenity surrounding the theatre suffered a great deal as a group identifying themselves as 'Tamil Tigers' were staging a protest against the
film and its makers. It was reported that the group was trying to justify their fulmination by claiming that Baahubali portrays Tamilians and a certain caste called 'Arunthathiyar' in a bad light.
The theatre was however going about its business of showcasing the cinema without paying much of a heed to the ongoing protest. But today, office-bearers of the theatre were forced to halt the shows.
Petrol bombs were directed at the theatre early in the morning today, disrupting its regular routine. Shows were immediately cancelled and the police department was notified at once. While nobody was harmed, cops are trying to
figure out if the group Tamil Tigers has anything to do with this attack which was clearly aimed at bringing the theatre to a halt.
