As theatres across the state enter the second week of shutdown, exhibitors admit that the move — though necessary — has hampered their business. While the theatre owners have made provisions for this month's salaries of their employees, they agree that they may have to take hard decisions if the shutdown extends well beyond March 31. Mohan Umrotkar, CEO, Carnival Cinemas that has seen its senior level management take a voluntary pay cut, says, "We will assess the situation post April 1.
If normalcy is restored, there won't be any deduction in salaries. But if this extends till the second week of April, we may have to deduct salaries of our staff. But we will not lay off anyone," he asserts.
