Actor Varun Dhawan has expressed his opinion on the film theatres ordered to remain shut in Maharashtra even as multiple other states ease the curbs. On Thursday, he took to Instagram to share a video, showing a busy street in Mumbai’s Bandra neighborhood.
The video showed cars, auto-rickshaws and other vehicles in a traffic jam. A large crowd could also be seen shopping at the markets. Sharing the video, Varun wrote, “Everything open but theatres remain shut?” He also added a sad face emoji.
Earlier this month, the Maharashtra government allowed shopping malls to open and operate as per the new guidelines. Outlets such as yoga centres, spa, saloon and gyms were also allowed to operate with 50% capacity and without the use of air conditioning, the order said. Though the malls are open, no multiplexes, theatres and cinema halls are allowed to operate. Multiplex chain PVR Cinemas had also reopened theatres in other states from July 30, claiming that all of its staff was fully vaccinated against Covid-19. As the country witnessed a steady decline in the number of Covid-19 cases, states such as Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have permitted the resumption of operations in cinema halls. In Delhi, theatres were allowed to reopen at 50% occupancy.
