With the film industry taking a massive hit due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, theatres continue to remain shut. While theatre owners have been working towards formulating strategies that would be implemented once they get the green light to operate, actor Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor believes “slow and steady” is the way to move about things.
He said, “It's not cheap to run cinemas, so they've to open up at some point with safety measures in place and with implementation of social distancing and regular sanitisation of the premises. But I hope they know what they're doing and that it's well thought out. I hope that they're not desperate to start without having mapped out a proper health protocol, which they should be capable of executing.”
Kapoor added, “This is a good opportunity in my opinion for producers to renegotiate profit sharing deals they have with cinemas. For a very long time, those ratios have been unfair.”
