Mono Delays Nakee 3 After Natapohn Objects to CGI

A controversy surrounding computer-generated imagery in the upcoming horror-fantasy film Nakee 3: The Cursed War forced MONO Original to delay its theatrical release from October 22, 2026, to October 23, 2026, after lead actress Natapohn Temeeraks filed a formal objection demanding the removal of altered scenes that she argued depicted her upper body in an unauthorized manner, according to reports by LINE TODAY, The Standard, Daily News, and Meta8News.

The Objection And The Digital Alteration Dispute

The dispute centers on computer-generated modifications made to footage of Natapohn Temeeraks, who stars in the production. According to documents cited by The Standard and Meta8News, the actress’s representation at Mirak 1 Co., Ltd. issued a formal objection on October 21, 2026, addressed to Mono Streaming Co., Ltd. The notice stated that the film utilized computer graphics to alter performance footage, making it appear as though the actress exposed her chest and upper body in a way that never occurred during actual filming.

The objection argued that the digital alteration caused public humiliation, damaged the actress’s reputation, and risked misleading audiences into believing the footage was authentic. LINE TODAY reported that the letter demanded the immediate removal of the altered scenes from the film and all promotional channels, warning of potential civil and criminal legal action if the studio failed to comply.

Studio Response And The Decision To Cut Scenes

Mono Streaming issued a simultaneous statement responding to the actor’s objections, maintaining that the production team had previously outlined its shooting methods, character arcs, and planned special effects prior to principal photography, as noted by Meta8News and The Standard. The studio stated it disagreed with allegations of improper conduct but opted to remove the contested visual elements to respect the cast and address concerns.

Navamin Prasopnet, chief executive officer of Mono Streaming Co., stated through the company’s release that the decision to cut the footage was made out of responsibility toward the performers rather than as an admission of liability, according to Meta8News. The studio coordinated with filmmakers and distributors to excise the disputed graphics from the final cut and promotional materials before the revised premiere.

Screening Adjustments And Technical Delays In Major Cinemas

The sudden removal of the footage triggered immediate logistical complications for theater operators across Thailand. Daily News reported that Major IMAX Thailand issued a separate announcement regarding technical difficulties with the film files that disrupted scheduled screenings on October 21, 2026, leaving ticketholders seeking refunds or rescheduled viewings.

While LINE TODAY noted that the general theatrical rollout shifted by a single day to October 23, 2026, to accommodate the digital edits, individual cinema branches fielded inquiries from fans holding advance tickets for special preview events. Major Cineplex offered ticket exchanges and full refunds through branch-level customer service channels as the studio finalized the amended print for public view.

Audience Impact And Unresolved Questions Surrounding The Premiere

The last-minute adjustments left certain promotional events and fan screenings in flux as ticket buyers questioned whether discussion panels and special merchandise tied to advance bookings would be rescheduled. Daily News highlighted fan inquiries regarding whether special screening perks would carry over to the new October 23 release date.

Neither Mono Streaming nor the actress’s representatives have indicated whether further legal steps will follow now that the edits have been implemented. As cinemas prepare to debut the revised cut, questions remain regarding how the studio will manage promotional imagery across external partner networks that may still hold older marketing materials.
