Nagarjuna has been embroiled in controversy lately due to his erratic comments about the ticket rates issue at the Bangarraju press meet.
Now the theatre owners and exhibitors of the East Godavari region are having a meeting tomorrow to discuss this issue. The owners are furious with Nagarjuna about his irresponsible comments supporting the ticket rates in AP.
The prices of tickets according to GO in Panchayat Raj are at a shockingly low 20, 15, and 10 rupees per ticket. This is the condition even for theatres with Air conditioners and good maintenance. Theatre owners are finding it very hard to run their theatres at these low prices.
They are having a meeting tomorrow to discuss the release of Bangarraju in their theatres. The exhibitors are furious about how these rates can be okay for Nagarjuna. When the whole industry is fighting against this issue, Nagarjuna has unnecessarily caused more division and controversy regarding ticket rates.
They have previously gone on strikes to voice their issue with the ticket rates. The owners have also shut down their theatres to protest against the government’s decision.
The theatre owners of East Godavari might also plan on not releasing Bangarraju in their theatres.
