Nadeem Mandviwalla, the Managing Director of Mandviwalla Entertainment and the owner of Nishat Cinema said, We have to move on — we cannot rebuild it. There is no point in erecting a new building because what is the guarantee that it won’t happen again? M.A. Jinnah Road is a vulnerable point for cinemas and every now and then protests and rallies are held on the artery."

Capri wasn't the only one to be charred down, in fact, five other cinemas--most of them neighbouring Capri--were also violently attacked and damaged that day. Other than Capri, the damaged cinemas in Karachi included, Nishat, Prince, Bambino, Gulistan and Crown cinema in Maripur area of the city. Bambino was the first one announced to be re-opened by the time of Eid-ul-Adha this year, while the others are still finding it hard to be on the feet once again.
