NEW DELHI : India’s largest multiplex chain, PVR Cinemas expects movie theatres to reopen in a staggered manner by the end of July or beginning of August.
As of now, the ministry of home affairs and individual state governments have strictly prohibited the opening of cultural and entertainment spaces across the country owing to the covid-19 outbreak.
Film theatres have remained shut across India since mid-March with Irrfan Khan-starrer Angrezi Medium standing out as the last film to hit screens. “A lot of films have bunched up together which are ready and even post-production is over so I believe they will start releasing July 15 onwards," PVR chairman Ajay Bijli has been quoted as saying according to media reports.
