Kunal Sahni, chief operating officer of Carnival Cinemas, also believes that the coming months will bring good news for Bollywood. If the current rule of occupancy (attendance) of only 20 per cent of the audience in the theaters is changed and 100 per cent occupancy is waived, then the multi-starrer big budget films to be released at festivals are expected to do business of Rs 500 to 800 crore, 'says Sahni.

Both classes enjoy the film of their choice, 'said Johar.
