THRISSUR: There is a complaint of cyber-attack towards the owner of Girija theater. Dr Girija, the owner of the theater, said there is a cyber-attack against her and is not allowing to live. She said there has been a severe attack towards the theater for the past five years. Girija also said that her Facebook account was reported and closed 12 times during these years.

The cyber-attack against Girija started when the facility of direct booking was provided through social media rather than through online ticket booking sites in the theatre. Girija clarified that her theater’s name is not in Book My Show, so she relies on Facebook and Instagram.

‘My Facebook account was closed more than 12 times since 2018. I thought this was because the social media accounts were handled by myself and so handed it over to a promotion team, but it didn’t work,’ she said.

‘While campaigning through Instagram, that account also got a mass report. Now I don't have Facebook or Instagram. There is no way to tell people which movie is running in my theatre,' she said.

There is no way to find out who is behind this mafia. Lodged many complaints to the cyber cell but there was no support from their side. The producers ask me how to give a film to your theater which has no website, but Girija said that it was Listin Stephen and Prithviraj who gave a film and gave her the courage. Going on with the help of a few good producers. She requested not to harass her like this.
