A few days ago, Tamil superstar, Vijay met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and reportedly urged him to allow 100% seating capacity in the theaters for his upcoming movie, Master. And now, the Tamil Nadu government has issued a notification granting permission for 100% occupancy in theaters/cinemas which is nothing short of the best present for the team 'Master'.

Earlier theatres in every state of India were allowed to operate only with 50% occupancy considering the covid-19 pandemic. With this move, Tamil Nadu becomes the first state to allow 100% occupancy and pave the way for other states to allow cinemas to operate with full strength.



In the notification issued by the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, it read, "Based on the decrease in the COVID-19 cases day by day, the Theatres Owners Association have represented to the Government to increase the seating capacity of Cinemas/theatres/ Multiplexes".

"Now, therefore the Government hereby permits to increase the seating capacity of Cinemas/ theatres/ Multiplexes from existing 50% to 100% by following the Standard Operating Procedure issued already", the notice further read.

The notification also states that precautionary measures for COVID-19 shall also be screened during the showtime in order to create awareness among the spectators.
