A representation of Telugu film producers met Andhra Pradesh I&PR Minister Perni Nani over the ticket issue today. Speaking at the meeting senior producer C Kalyan pointed out the current rates as per G.O would make it absolutely difficult for the revenue generation and creating profits for all.
The producer further admitted that the numbers mentioned on the posters of the films are often fake and barring a couple of films, most fail anyway. This is done in order to attract people to theatres. Just because there is a number on the poster, it doesn’t mean the movie actually collected that much.
He also welcomed the government’s decision to implement an online ticketing portal which would make it easier for revenue collection.
C Kalyan compared the scenario in other states such as Karnataka and Maharashtra where prices for tickets over the weekend are higher while the same on weekdays come down. “That situation is not here in Telugu states hence it would be great if the government looks towards the plight of the Telugu producers and provides us with similar flexibility,” he added.
