With music composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, the film has generated high expectations among fans and cinema enthusiasts. The trailer, which was released recently, received an overwhelming response, further building anticipation. Unfortunately, a major commotion broke out in Nellai after a massive 200-foot tall cutout of actor Ajith Kumar collapsed at a local theatre.
The incident occurred at PSS Theatre in Vannarapettai, where preparations were underway for the grand release of Ajith’s upcoming film 'Good Bad Ugly'. As part of the promotional activities, fans were setting up an enormous cutout of the actor to celebrate the film’s release. However, during the process of installation, the scaffolding gave way, causing the entire structure to come crashing down unexpectedly. Luckily, no one was injured during the collapse, and the video of the incident has been going viral on social media.

Die-hard Ajith fans have been gearing up for early celebrations across various theatres in Tamil Nadu, including elaborate decorations, special screenings, and the installation of huge cutouts and banners. The collapsed cutout in Nellai was part of such fanfare but turned into a moment of concern due to the sudden mishap.
A grim reminder from the past
This incident brings back memories of a tragic event from 2023 during the release of 'Thunivu', when a fan lost his life in Chennai while attending a 4 AM show. Following that, early morning screenings were canceled to avoid further incidents. The recent mishap serves as a reminder of the importance of safety during film celebrations, especially those involving large-scale installations.
