Thiruvananthapuram: All the theaters in the state, which were closed due to the Covid, will be reopened from Monday. The decision was taken after discussions with the owners.
Minister Saji Cheriyan assured that the need for tax relief would be discussed with the concerned departments and the Chief Minister. Theater owners demanded a waiver of the fixed deposit in KSEB during the closure.
Dulquer Salman’s Kurup is the first major release to hit the theaters. The movie will be released on November 12. The film, which was supposed to be released by OTT, was shifted to the theatrical release.
