Close on the heels of release, actor Vishal and Kajal Aggarwal starrer Paayum Puli` has started facing a new problem. The Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association has announced that the Suseenthiran directed film wont` be screened in the theatres coming under NSC distribution areas (North Arcot, South Arcot and Chengalpet).

The film has been produced by Vendhar Movies who had distributed Superstar Rajinikanth`s Lingaa` which ended up as a colossal failure at the box office. The theatre owners seems to have used this as a weapon to make the production house to repay the losses incurred due to screening Lingaa` after paying exorbitant prices.
However the Tamil Film Producers Council in a press statement has condemned such a move by theatre owners and also said that the issue will be taken up to the State Government if the theatre owner stick to their stand in stopping the release of Paayum Puli`.

Paayum Puli` is announced as a September 4 release across the world and the works for the same have already begun.
