In the wake of rising cases of Omicron variant in the capital, the Delhi government on Tuesday issued a yellow alert in the state, following which cinema halls in Delhi have been closed. Theaters in Delhi were allowed to operate with 100 percent capacity after the cases of Covid-19 decreased. The decision to close the theaters has raised the concerns of the exhibitors. The Multiplex Association has appealed to the Delhi government not to completely shut down the cinema halls, supported by Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.
