Filmmaker Vinod Kapri announced that over 200 shows of his film Pyre will be added across India from November 13, following growing audience demand. The All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has written to the Information and Broadcasting Minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, seeking an investigation into the alleged reduction in Pyre's screen count and calling for reforms in the film distribution system. AICWA President Suresh Shyamlal Gupta highlighted that Pyre, made on a budget of ₹2.5 crore, initially released across 80 screens before expanding to approximately 400 screens on audience love alone. However, the film's theatrical presence subsequently dropped to fewer than 100 screens despite receiving a favourable audience response.
