Dulquer Salmaan’s I’m Game hit by delays, Telugu shows cancelled on opening day
Developing
In Short: Multiple shows of I'm Game were cancelled on its opening day, with Telugu screenings being particularly affected due to delays.
Multiple shows of Dulquer Salmaan's I'm Game were cancelled on its opening day, with Telugu screenings being among the worst affected. Audiences who had booked tickets for the Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada versions in several centres found their shows cancelled or indefinitely delayed.
The delay in the release meant that while the Malayalam version of I'm Game played as scheduled across Kerala and other Malayalam-speaking markets, audiences in other regions were left disappointed. Theatre owners and distributors cited low occupancy as one of the factors for the cancellations.
I'm Game was previously scheduled to release on August 20 but was postponed to avoid competing with other releases during Onam. This delay led to confusion and cancellations for audiences who had already booked their tickets.
The Indian Express reported that while the Malayalam version played as planned, the other versions faced significant disruptions, affecting the overall release strategy and audience experience.
