In good news to moviegoers, Tamil Nadu government on Monday allowed theatres in the state to open with 100 per cent capacity. The government stated that citing decreasing COVID-19 cases, theatre owners associations in the state made a representation seeking an increase in seating capacity in cinema halls and multiplexes
The government order issued on Monday states., “The seating capacity of Cinemas/theatres/Multiplexes shall be permitted to increase from existing 0% to 100% by following the Standard Operating Procedure issued already. Further, in order to create awareness among the spectators, the precautionary measures for Covid 19 shall also be screened during the showtime."
This decision came after prominent actors including Vijay and Silambarasan requested that cinema halls be allowed to function at full capacity. Actor Vijay had personally met the Chief Minister last week to request for relaxation in the existing restrictions. Both Vijay’s latest film Master and Silambarasan’s Eeswaran are both expected to release during the Pongal holidays.
