After a long time, director Maniratnam is coming with his much-anticipated film Ponniyin Selvan. The Tamil film has a stellar cast and some of the top actors are playing key roles in the magnum opus which is based on the mighty Chola umpire. The film is based on the novel which has the same name as Ponniyin Selvan.
The magnum opus is carrying high expectations and good buzz in Telugu states too. The upcoming film is slated for a grand release this month end and days ahead of the release, the ticket prices were fixed.
If we have to take anything from the media reports, the Tamil film is going to have the highest ticket prices in Hyderabad in multiplexes. It is said that the ticket prices were fixed at around Rs 300 per ticket.
Of late, the experts are saying that high ticket prices are playing a part in stopping movie lovers from coming to theatres. A few straight films suffered the impact of high ticket prices.
Despite all this, the Tamil movie reportedly fixed high ticket fares and we have to wait and see if this works or not. The event held in Hyderabad brought good buzz for the film. Only time will decide if the film did a big risk in going for high ticket prices or not.
The upcoming film has a stellar cast of Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Prabhu, R. Sarathkumar, Vikram Prabhu, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Rahman, and R. Parthiban.
