🚨 Attention & all film lovers!
Saw this first on an Insta page called Mtl Stories — sharing for awareness.
Reports are coming in that three Cineplex locations in were reportedly targeted by vandals, with screens smashed during screenings of .
If true, this is not an isolated issue — has a long history of attacks on cinema screenings:
• It started in 2015 with Tamil films, when the first known vandalism incidents took place.
• Over the years, the attacks expanded to all South Indian films.
• Since the release of Animal, Bollywood movies have also become targets.
Even though some people were caught and arrested over the years, these repeat vandalism incidents have continued right through 2026.
🎬 We hope Cineplex continues screening just like they did for Animal, because the rest became box office history. Let’s not let cowards and vandals dictate the fate of cinema. Audiences deserve to enjoy films safely and freely!
📢 Stay aware, stay safe, and celebrate cinema!
