Numerous fans took to X to complain about the morning shows of Martin being canceled in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.

Another fan tweeted from Hyderabad, “8.15am Show Cancelled. Mythri Theatres (Vimal), Balanagar. Distributor Issues anta. Chi Dinemma Nidra bokka, Petrol bokka. Back to Hostel - Hitech City. (Apparently there’s some issues with the distributors. I lost my sleep and wasted petrol)”

Another tweeted from the same theatre, “#MARTIN - Shows are getting cancelled. I'm at Vimal Theatre, Bala Nagar, and the theatre management is quoting some issues between the distributor and producer! What's going on?”

Watched Goat, Devara and Vettaiyan fan shows as early as 4 AM but namgu Kannada picture gu yaako aagthilla guru! #Martin. Shows were booked fully even for 6 AM shows.”

Shows in Mysuru were also getting cancelled, claimed one person, “#Martin #MartinOnOct11th Mysore Alli 9:00 am show cancelled in DRC and garuda mall.”
