In view of Haasan deciding to release &#39;Vishwaroopam&#39; in DTH on January 10 and in threatres the next day, theatre owners and their representatives across the state met here today to decide their future course of action. <img alt="Kamal Haasan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Kamal-Haasan_4.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 564px;" /> Briefing reporters on the deliberations of the meeting, association general secretary, Paneerselvam said theatre owners have already asked Haasan not to release the film on DTH, which would set a precedent, leading to closure of theatres. The pirated CD and new films shown in Television has taken a toll of audience-attendance in theatres in Tamil Nadu, number of which has gone down from 3,000 to 1,200 now and once a step like DTH becomes a precedent, there would not be any theatres in future, he said. &quot;For one&#39;s profit and benefit, it is not fair to bring down the entire film theatre industry...,&quot; Paneerselvam said. &quot;In case, he goes ahead with the move to release it on DTH before releasing it in theatres, we will not screen his movies, old or new, in any theatres in the state,&quot; he added. The association claimed that the actor has decided to release the film in theatres in other States, including Kerala and said it would request him not to mete out such &quot;step-motherly&quot; treatment to Tamil Nadu theatres.u00a0
