Theatres have shut down and there is still an uncertainty over the reopening of theatres as the important members of the film fraternity continue to have their discussions with the State Government officials. The Theatre owners association are against the implementation of local municipality tax of 30% and hence there has been a shutdown of theatres from 3rd of July.
With regard to this, actor-comedian Vivekh has tweeted, "உச்ச நட்சத்திரங்களும், பெரும் தயாரிப்பாளர்களும் சினிமாவரியை எதிர்த்து குரல் கொடுக்காவிட்டால்,சிறு தயாரிப்பாளரின் குரல்வளை நெறிக்கப்படும்."
This tweet is roughly translated as, "If top stars and big film producers do not come out and speak against local entertainment tax of 30% (levied by the State Govt), then, the voices of small-time producers would be crushed"
