The cinema ticket pricing issue is causing ripples in Tollywood and it is the focal point of the film industry for the past few days.
Now, Andhra Pradeesh cinematography minister Perni Nani has commented about the whole scaniorio and even reacted to the comments made by noted senior actor Siddharth recently. He didn't hold back while speaking against Siddharth who recently made cryptic comments about the ticket pricing restrictions in Andhra Pradesh.
"I don't know why Siddharth, a Tamil Nadu citizen is commenting about Andhra Pradesh. He doesn't pay his taxes in Andhra Pradesh. He pays his taxes in Tamil Nadu. I don't udnertstand how he is connected with Andhra Pradesh. As for the cinema ticket pricing preposition, we are just capping the prices and are not depleting the value of the ticket prices. We intend to cut down the black ticket issue." Nani said.
About the much anticipated meeting between the government of Andhra Pradesh and Tollywood delegation, Nani said he doesn't know if Chiranjeevi actually sought YS Jagan's appointment or not.
Previously, Siddharth had tweeted ""Why not regulate land prices? Let the poor who deserve to live in prime localities with their fellow citizens get standardized rate land in their cities? Who owns most of the land in India? I wonder. Private taxis can impose peak hour tariff. Clothing brands can charge premium for latest styles. Cellphones can charge premium for latest models. Film producers and exhibitors cannot charge premium for latest content or high cost offerings." Siddharth tweeted.
""Kill black money, tax legal earning, tell your followers to go to the cinema and support a struggling business. Please. If you cant, thats fine...but please again, leave the film making and film business to itself.How bout reducing the size and amenities of stadiums and reducing the cost of staging cricket matches... Pass on the discount to the customer... question cricketer salaries. They have talent. Actors have what? Entertainment is entertainment. Why this hatred for our industry? People who try to build hotels should only be allowed to build lodges to keep costs down? And then sell food at canteen rates? The exhibitor charges what will recover his investment. Different hotels cater to different people. One can't demand accomodation they can't afford." Siddharth stated.
