The Tamil Nadu government had released an official statement that read, "The seating capacity of Cinemas/theatres/Multiplexes shall be permitted to increase from existing 0% to 100% by following the Standard Operating Procedure issued already. Further, in order to create awareness among the spectators, the precautionary measures for COVID-19 shall also be screened during the showtime." With 50% capacity, there was some social distancing happening in theatres, where the people sat in alternate seats but with full capacity, the risk to the audience would increase with no social distancing in place.
