The advance booking of Ilayathalapathy Vijay's 'Bairavaa' is phenomenal with most multiplexes recording full houses on the first day. Meanwhile, in Kerala where Vijay is very popular the film was planned to release in 200 theaters, but the problem between Film Exhibitors Federation and Producers and Distributors put a question mark on this.

The Exhibitors held a meeting today (10.1.2017) and they have decided to shutdown all theaters affiliated to them from the 12th of January when 'Bairavaa' releases. This means that the film will only get government owned theaters and the halls that are not affiliated to the federation. Sources say that the theater count will be around 70 as opposed to the proposed 200. Well anyway the Kerala fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the even though limited the release is confirmed.
