Baahubali, the most awaited film of the year which will be released in Kerala by Global United Media, is facing trouble. Reportedly, the Kerala Film Exhibitors Federation has decided to go on a theater strike on the 9th of July, demanding authorities to respond to Premam's piracy case. Sources say that the theatres will remain closed on 9th of July and will reopen on 10th, provided that the authorities take necessary action against the crime. If the theatre owners head for an indefinite strike, Baahubali will be the worst affected.

Notably, the film has been given the best promotions in the state with nearly 450 theatres reserved for the epic film. Also Baahubali will be the first Tamil film to be released in 4K projection in Kerala. The makers of the film are anxiously waiting for a positive response from the authorities. India's biggest motion picture directed by S.S Rajamouli will be released worldwide on July 10th, in all the four languages.
