Cinema exhibitor PVR's wholly-owned subsidiary - PVR Pictures will now onwards focus on film distribution which would enable it to turn profitable in the next 18 months. PVR is already in the process of merging the film production business of PVR Pictures with itself. The company has decided to go slow on film production and focus on film exhibition and distribution.
While PVR will continue to deal in cinema exhibition on the other hand PVR Pictures will manage film distribution.
