There is a cineplex in almost every street with 8-9 auditoriums and a seating capacity of anything between 100 and 400 people. We need many more theatres of different sizes to accommodate the diversity of cinema being produced in India in multiple languages," he added.Jain, along with a delegation representing the Hindi film industry, has met Modi twice in the recent past.
