Oakville, Ont. movie theatre ‘will not cave’ amid threats over new Tamil-language film

A movie theatre in Oakville, Ont. that earlier this year had its screens slashed says it has received new threats ahead of the release of a Tamil-language film.

In a video statement posted to Twitter, Film.Ca Cinemas CEO Jeff Knoll said both the theatre and his family have received threats “by a criminal element” that does not want the film Ponniyan Selvan shown.

“We will not cave into criminals who want to tell us how to do our business, what films we exhibit or what language they are exhibited in,” Knoll said.

The GTA is just burstin out with diversity!
