The
novel
Coronavirus
is
spreading
rapidly
in
the
country,
as
several
states
including
Tamil
Nadu
record
huge
numbers
of
positive
cases
of
COVID-19.
Considering
the
surge,
the
Tamil
Nadu
government
has
now
decided
to
put
some
restrictions
in
the
state.
According
to
the
new
guidelines
set
by
the
TN
government,
the
occupancy
in
theatres
has
been
slashed
to
50
per
cent.
Because
of
this
decision,
Dhanush's
upcoming
film
Karnan
would
be
the
first
big
film
to
face
trouble
at
the
box
office.
After
all,
Dhanush
is
a
big
star
and
audiences
were
damn
excited
to
watch
his
next
on
the
big
screen.
However,
the
latest
guidelines
by
the
TN
government
will
not
only
definitely
affect
its
box
office
collection,
but
will
also
upset
his
fans.
The
makers
have
not
yet
reacted
to
government's
decision,
but
they
must
be
panicking.
Notably,
the
50
per
cent
occupancy
rule
will
be
applicable
from
April
10,
2021
(Saturday).
There
will
be
no
changes
in
tomorrow's
bookings.
It
has
to
be
noted
that
bookings
for
Saturday
and
Sunday
will
be
closed
now
and
a
new
schedule
will
be
published
later
today.
For
the
unversed,
Tamil
Nadu
government
had
increased
the
occupancy
to
100
per
cent
ahead
of
the
release
of
Thalapathy
Vijay-starrer
Master.
As
expected,
the
film
received
a
bumper
opening
at
the
box
office,
and
eventually,
it
turned
out
to
be
a
blockbuster.
Coming
back
to
Dhanush-starrer
Karnan,
the
film
also
stars
Lal
Paul,
Yogi
Babu,
Rajisha
Vijayan,
Gouri
G
Kishan,
Lakshmi
Priyaa
Chandramouli
and
others
in
key
roles.
Directed
by
Mari
Selvaraj,
the
film
is
all
set
to
release
tomorrow
(April
9,
2021)
in
theatres.
