The release of Bollywood film 'Madras Cafe' which opened on Friday was pulled in the UK by exhibitors Cineworld after protests by British Tamils.
The film is currently not showing at any British cinemas, although the film's marketing officials said they were still hopeful for a later release.
Cinemas in Tamil Nadu have also refused to screen the movie following widespread protests.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
