Thalapathy's much-awaited flick The Greatest Of All Time aka GOAT is set for a massive release on September 5. The actioner is already making waves with its remarkable advance booking sales for the release day. However, as per the latest development, GOAT will not be released in national chains including PVR, INOX and Cinepolis in Hindi in the North India region. Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh shared the news on his social media handle, also mentioning the reason behind the decision.
''The national chains have, for quite some time, adhered to a policy requiring ALL new #Hindi movies to maintain an 8-week gap between their theatrical release and their premiere on OTT platforms,'' Taran explained the real reason behind not releasing the film in Hindi in North India.
