In Nagercoil, August 7 - Members of the Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) conducted a protest by besieging a cinema theater. The movie 'Kingdom' has been released in several theaters across Tamil Nadu.

Following the protest, police held talks with the participants and the screening of 'Kingdom' was halted at the theater. After an agreement was reached, the siege was called off. Several key party functionaries including State Coordinator Deepak Solomon, Padmanabhapuram candidate Seelan, and others participated. The protesters also tore down posters of the movie pasted outside the theater, causing tension in the area.
