Don got delayed in ceded and Andhra Region
Don, the much hyped movie of Nag, didn’t release on its scheduled date (Dec 20), but for in Nizam area. At several release centers in the ceded and Nellore district, fans erected huge cutouts of Nag and awaited its release, by resorting to sleepless night on the eve of the release. But, the word came from the exibitors that the prints had not been despatched from Hyderabad, citing the reason that Don was releasing with a deficit budget, “as the producer has not cleared the amounts to the Lab.”
Meanwhile, heavy rains in Chittoor and Nellore districts marred the pre-release hungama. Due to heavy gales and downpour, most of the display material such as banners and vinyles were damaged.
Three theatres were readied in Tirupati for the show, which was supposed to have started early. The enthusiasm (expecting the crowds of Vaikunta Ekadasi night-out) among the exibitors vanished when it was known that Don would not release today.
