However, some sarpanches were screening the movie in villages with the help of OTT platforms by arranging LED screens and collecting money from villagers.

As a result, the people, who did not have OTT connections, were not visiting cinema theatres to watch the movie, he said, requesting SP to instruct sarpanches not to screen the movie in villages.
