The chief minister of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has announced that the seating arrangements in movie theatres will be restricted to 50% from now on.
Jagan announced that every other seat in movie theatres whould be vacant at all costs and there will be exception in this regard.
This should take a toll on the forthcoming releases namely Ishq - Not A Love Story, and Ek Mini Katha which are releasing on 23rd April and 30th April respectively.
Even the government of Telangana is expected to take the final call on seating capacity in movie theaters very soon.
The sudden surge in Covid cases in the twin Telugu states has forced the state governments to take stern measures to contain the spread of Covid.
