Vishal Applauds Actor-Turned-Politician
Vijay permits 5 shows per day for 1st week of new film release
“The Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, after considering the request made by the film industry, has amended the Tamil Nadu Cinema Theatres (Regulation) Rules. Accordingly, all cinema theatres in Tamil Nadu are allowed to screen five screenings daily for seven days from the date of release of newly released Tamil films and five screenings daily on local festivals and public holidays. Saturdays and Sundays,” reads the note, mentioning that producers don’t need to obtain permission from the government and licensing officer to do this.
Impact of the New 5-Show Rule
After Vijay was sworn in as the CM of Tamil Nadu, Vishal wrote a note on X to highlight some issues in the state. “Requesting you for the following. As a voter. Would like to see you taking stock of the lady/woman constables who stand in the heat unnecessarily when a cm leaves his/her house to go to the secretariat.. request you to provide them mobile toilets. Yes there are promises to be met. But the basics like mending roads,which has been the same last 30 years with water logging ,making sure the elusive storm water drains come into existence and also the list as common man goes on. But yes, these can be attended to, which will make a mark which no leader has attended to till date. God bless u with abundant positivity and strength to handle all that comes your way to do good for the public,” read an excerpt from his previous post.
Vijay has joined the league of iconic actor-turned-CMs of Tamil Nadu like MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa. TVK caused a major political earthquake in Tamil Nadu by beating both Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), the two main players in the state for decades.
This progressive step by CM Vijay, allowing five daily shows, marks a new era for the Tamil film industry. It reflects a responsive leadership addressing industry needs, promising growth and excitement for both filmmakers and audiences alike.
