Referring to this, MPTDC Managing Director S. Vishwanathan said that this new initiative will let movie-lovers watch films, sitting in their cars, along with their family and friends. He also added that the facility has been inspected for this purpose.

Reports have it that the facility will have capacity to accommodate 100 cars. Also, 100 chairs have been installed for those who would want to watch films sitting in chairs like in a conventional cinema hall. Apart from this, a 70 ft by 30 ft RCC screen has been built, and a food court spread over 1000 sq ft. Further, two gates have been built in the premises to facilitate entry and exit of cars.
