Bar facilities in theatres?

The Tamil Nadu and Chennai Theatre Owners Associations were shocked when they found out that some theatre owners had petitioned the Tamil Nadu government to allow them operate a bar in the theatre premises. The Theatre Owners Association made it clear that no decision regarding bar facilities in theatres were made at the general body meeting.

The theatre owners have requested the chief minister M Karunanidhi and DCM Stalin not to consider the request because it would deter the family audience from visiting the theatres.
