After gaining an edge over PVR Inox theatres against Kartik Aaryan's movie, certain single theatres have also been asked to dedicate all shows to Singam Again, a source told indianexpress.com. On the other hand, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will be screened only in early morning slots in multiple single-screen theatres, according to the report.
