The decision follows a buzz on Monday that employees were planning to take sick leave en masse to catch the first show of the film.

Bangalore-based Opus Waterproofing and Fyndus India Pvt Ltd in Chennai are among companies that have issued holiday notices. “I could feel the eagerness in my employees, so instead of dealing with mass bunks and mobile switch-offs, I came up with the idea of declaring a holiday on July 22. Like Diwali bonus, we treated them to a Kabali bonus,” Manoj Pushparaj of Opus Waterproofing said.
