The makers of Vijay-starrer \u2018Thalaiva,\u2019 who approached the city police on Friday with permission for a day\u2019s token fast, were denied the request.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The movie has been mired in controversy and its release, earlier scheduled for the Eid weekend, was suspended after cinema halls received threats from some groups.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After various failed attempts, including one to meet the Chief Minister, to enable the film\u2019s release, on Friday, the producer, director and music composer of Thalaiva approached the police commissioner for permission to conduct a one-day token fast.<\/p>\n

Producer Chandraprakash Jain, director A.L. Vijay and music director G.V. Prakash arrived with a written petition at the commissionerate in Egmore to meet commissioner S. George. They were redirected to additional commissioner (central crime branch) R.S. Nallasivam who accepted the petition.<\/p>\n
