MUMBAI: Due to the Coronavirus outbreak the theatre was shut for more than 6 months, and now movie theatres will be opened with 50 per cent capacity from today in Maharashtra. Maha Government has finally announced unlock of theatres following SOPs outside the containment zone. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, no eatables will be allowed inside and Cultural Affairs Department will issue the SOPs of the same. Well, this has surely come as a sigh of relief for exhibitors and producers as Maharashtra is the only state to contribute 40 per cent to the box office collections.

As the movie theatres are back in business, Suraj Par Mangal Bhari makers have become amongst the first few films to announce the release of their upcoming film. Helmed by Abhishek Sharma, the film stars the ensemble cast of Fatima Sana Shaikh, Diljit Dosanjh and Manoj Bajpayee. Confirming the same Zee Studios’ Shariq Patel said that it will open on November 13, in theatres. Mumbai Mirror quoted Shariq saying, “Discussions are on with multiplexes, we need to be on the same page on VPF charges, OTT release window, showcasing, and revenue sharing model of box office collections, but I’m not thinking of a digital release at the moment. We have to support our fraternity but we need a longer run for every film as footfalls will be lower.”

Shariq also points out that there’s also a financial risk as they will be missing big markets like UK and Canada, for a Diljit starrer. He added, “I’m hopeful of a Diwali release.”

Earlier speaking about her item song, Karishma Tanna had said, “I consider it my honor and blessing to share screen space, even if it’s just for a dance number,  with the multi-talented Manoj sir. It was an outstanding experience of working with him, better than what I imagined it to be. There is so much to learn from him, he is so full of talent, it's unbelievable. The reasons I did the song were, one for the melody of the song and two, for Manoj sir.”
