In a recent turn of events, the Supreme Court has issued notices to Nandamuri Balakrishna and the team of Gautamiputra Satakarni. They also went after Anushka’s Rudramadevi. This was after the Cine Consumers Association filed a petition against the two films.
The petition focused on the idea of reducing the ticket prices by taking tax concession for the movie. To this extent, the Supreme Court has issued notices to all the respondents including Balakrishna, Krish and the producers of Gautamiputra Satakarni. They also sent notices to the governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Notices have also been issued regarding another historical drama, Rudramadevi. Rudramadevi was directed by Gunashekar and starred Anushka Shetty in the lead role. The film was released on October 2015.
Since both the above mentioned films are historical dramas, the government has given a tax concession. However, years later, The Cinema Audience Consumers’ Association has filed a petition stating that the ticket prices have not been reduced even after taking the concession.
They pleaded that the benefits of the tax concessions were not transferred to the moviegoers. They demanded that the government should recover the money back. Supreme Court judge Justice DY Chandra Choudh heard the case and issued notices, asking for explanations also.
