An attack on an Indian cinema screening in Oakville. The arson attack was carried out by Film.ca Cinemas, which operates in Oakville. In CCTV footage, two men wearing black clothes and masks poured petrol in jerry cans and set it on fire at the front door of the hall. The fire spread quickly and the entire front door was burnt down.
No one was inside the hall at the time of the incident. The entrance of the hall was damaged due to smoke and fire. However, the management clarified that all cinema screenings will continue as usual. It is suspected that the screening of the Telugu film They Call Him OG is the reason for the protests. However, Film.ca CEO Jeff Noll responded that cowardly attacks cannot stop this. Halton Regional Police are investigating the incident. Security measures have been tightened at the theatre.
