The repeated talks between the Tollywood film industry and the Andhra Pradesh government on the controversial movie ticket prices regulation did not yield any positive outcome. The government had ordered the theatres across the state to follow the guidelines and clearly said no to extra shows and increasing the movie ticket prices.
To make sure that the Go No 35 is followed, the revenue officials, VROs, Police personnel, and even the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were deployed at the theatres across the state.
It is said that they are monitoring the situation to see if the tickets are being sold at the prescribed rates or not. With this, the owners of the theaters have two options left, either to sell the tickets for the given prices or to shut the establishments.
Unable to run the show by selling movie tickets at laser prices, a few theatres in Andhra Pradesh are said to have canceled the shows and they put up posters saying that no shows are airing here and the audiences should make a note of it.
As many as 10 theatres, including one from Mylavaram, have canceled the shows. Mylavaram is the same area that was in the news earlier when Blakarishna’s Akhanda was released. The theatre was closed for airing special shows for the fans.
The Andhra Pradesh government being strict on the movie ticket prices is working well for the theatres in the bordering areas. Seeing the situation, the theatres are seeking permission from the concerned governments.
With the governments giving a nod, a few theaters in Yanam aired special shows. To cash the craze the film has, the management of the respective theatres are said to have foxed high rates for the film and the fans bought tickets no matter how high the prices are.
