If you are planning to have a blast this weekend, you can reserve ‘Paiyaa’ tickets from this morning, for plans for the Lingusamy’s film will be open at cinema halls all over Tamil Nadu from today.

A whopping number of 18 theatres will release the Karthi-Tamannah starrer this Friday in Chennai alone. Remember we are talking about cinema halls in mainland and not about those in the suburbs.

Interestingly, Mayajal will screen 40 shows a day, a first-of-its kind patronage for a film starring an up and coming actor like Karthi in the lead. All other theatres will have extra shows in the releasing weekend, and at least four shows a day after that.

“This shows the expectations the movie has created. It’s all because of two persons- Lingusamy the director and Dhayanidhi Alagiri, who had acquired the release rights of the movie,” says a source in the distribution business.
