An investor has applied to General Commission for audio visual information in Saudi Arabia to allow him to set up a cinema house. A foreign news agency says that commission had no objection on obtaining license. In principle, the application was approved.
The investor has also been asked to prepare a detailed feasibility report and submit it. It is pertinent to mention here that setting up of cinemas is not allowed in Saudi Arabia.
If commission thinks that investment for setting up cinemas is feasible and workable, the commission can request high officials to remove the obstacles in the way of opening cinemas.
