Actor Chiranjeevi took to social media requesting Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy
to reconsider his decision to regulate ticket prices in the State.
“We are happy about the AP government’s decision to launch an online portal for movie tickets that will ensure transparency. However, for the survival of many who are dependent on movie theatres, I request them to reconsider the cap on ticket prices in the state. Just like the entire country has one tax system, the ticket prices should also be the same for fair business. Only with your cooperation and encouragement, can the film industry excel,” the note read.
On Wednesday, the AP government passed a bill to regulate ticket prices in the state, apart from limiting the number of shows per day to four.
