Few Greedy Theaters Owners Flout Social-Distancing Norms

Supreme Hero Sai Dharam Tej’s Solo Brathuke So Better has released today as Christmas Special. It is the first notable release of Tollywood after the Pandemic forced the industry for several months. The theaters are allowed with 50% occupancy and the necessary COVID-19 control measures.

But then, several over-zealous theater owners in both the Telugu states were greedy to make use of the holiday advantage. Some theaters have pulled down their online bookings and sold all the seats. Some theaters sold 50% quote online and the remaining 50% at the counters.

This is mainly prevalent in the B and C centers. This is a serious deviation and poses a danger of a COVID-19 outbreak which may shut down theaters permanently. With the tensions of COVID-19 impending second wave, we can only pray nothing happens and everyone is safe.

On the other side, the industry is looking anxiously at this film’s run for some motivation to line up their releases fresh in 2021. The future of several films planned for January 2021 will depend on the collections of the film at the box office.
