POPULAR CHENNAI THEATRE CUM MALL TO BE SHUT DOWN AFTER PETTA/VISWASAM

Abirami Mega Mall, one of the first malls of Tamil Nadu, is all set for it’s version 2.0. The Mall will put a full-stop to all of its operations from 1st February 2019, and will start with the renovation work. Rajini’s Petta and Ajith’s Viswasam will be the last two films to release in the city’s Mega Mall.
 

After being functional for over 42 years, Abirami Theatres will now be demolished and a new complex is said to be build. The ground and the first two floors are for theatre screens, food courts, shopping and other activities. On top of these will stand 14 floors of residential apartments.
 

“The theatres will be totally ultra modern with out of the world comforts and projector less screens”, said Abirami Ramanathan, the Managing Director, in the official press note. He also stated that the main reason for the renovation is due to the invasion of digital media and 1000 capacity seat theatres are not viable anymore. The theatre is said to hire Structural Engineers from Singapore for the completion of this project, and will possibly resume its operations within 24 months.
