Tamil nadu government has agreed for 100 % occupancy in theatres ahead of actor Vijay’s Master and Silambarasan’s Eashwaran release. Responding to the request of The Tamil nadu exhibitors association and actor Vijay’s direct approach, Chief minister Edappadi Pazhaniswamy seems to have made the important decision.
“Now, therefore the Government hereby permit to increase the
seating capacity of Cinemas/theatres/Multiplexes from existing 50% to 100% by following the Standard Operating Procedure issued already and issue following amendment to G.O.Ms. No.820, Revenue and Disaster Management (DM-IV) Department, dated:31.12.2020″ read the official notice.
“Under Caption II, the following section shall be added in addition to the existing permitted activities: iv. The seating capacity of Cinemas/ theatres/ Multiplexes shall be permitted to increase from existing 50% to 100% by following the Standard Operating Procedure issued already. Further, in order create awareness among the spectators, the precautionary measures for Covid-19 shall also be screened during the show time.” it added.

While fans of Tamil cinema and theatre owners are expressing their happiness through social media platforms, a set of people criticizing the decision of the Tamil nadu government. However, fans are countering them by pointing out the crowded Tasmac shops and tourists spots such as beaches, parks etc.
Check out some of the mixed reactions below :
Now that Vijay's request has been conceded to by the Chief Minister, let's ask @actorvijay to sit with fans and watch the movie in a 100% full cinema! Will you, Vijay?

Very bad move… செத்தாலும் திருந்த மாடீங்கடா… OTT வெளியிட்டாலும் போட்ட பணத்த எடுக்கலாம்… பேராசை பட்டு சாதாரண மனிதனின் உயிரை எடுக்க நினைக்கிறது… திரை அரங்கம் உரிமையாளரும் தயாரிப்பாளரும் பாதுகாப்பா வீட்ல இருப்பாங்க, நீயும் நானும் தான் உயிர பணயம் வைக்கணும்.

Extremely unwise decision. Hope people are more sensible and stay away. 2.5 hours in a closed room with hundred others at close range is a text book super spreader situation. #covid https://t.co/sLYmKY1LHi
