The strong nature of the Andhra Pradesh government on the ticket issue is pushing the Tollywood industry into a soup of troubles. The ticket rates were reduced largely. The efforts made by the industry bigwigs to make the government change its decision on the issue did not yield any fruitful outcome.
After Tollywood bigwigs, Kollywood actor Siddharth, who enjoys a good following from Telugu states reacted to the issue and suggested that such rules should not be imposed on the film industry. Without taking any names, the actor asked why the governments are seeing the film industry as an area of the problem.
In a series of Tweets, Maha Samudram actor Siddharth said no one tells the restaurant about the prices of idli or coffee. He said, restricting the number of shows per day is nothing but a Monopolistic and Restrictive Trade Practice act violation.

He said, restricting the number of shows per day is nothing but a violation of the Monopolistic and Restrictive Trade Practice act. The actor had urged the concerned state government to make a formula to fix the ticket rates in the area.
“Suggestion to respected state governments. Please calculate average house rent and per capita consumer spend on durables in an area, and device a formula to set ticket rates for cinemas in that area, if not universally,” he tweeted.
“You don’t tell an a/c restaurant how much to charge for a plate of idli or a coffee. Why is it that the film industry has to constantly be seen as a problem area by govts intent on telling them how to recover their investment?,” his other tweet reads.
