Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has said there is a need for more theatres in the country, especially on the outskirts of cities where people don't get to watch movies because theatres are way too far to travel.
"There are very few cinema halls in India and we can still do another ten thousand plus cinema halls in this country. In the main city, with all the real estate price and other things, I think they will rather make a office. So, whatever cinema theatres has to be built, they will have to be built on the outskirts and that is where they should be built actually" Salman said.
The reason, Salman said, was because small places in the city don't have theatres
"Because lots of small places in the cities they don't have any theatres" the actor added.
India has one of the lowest cinema screens per capita. The United States of America has nearly 6 times more screens, even though India has 4 times more population. China too has significantly higher number screens.
