Ram Gopal Varma has been stating his opinions and comments on different issues on social media platforms. He expressed his views on different sensitive matters in controversial way.
Now, he came forward to speak about Andhra Pradesh government's ticket prices regulation act and decision to decrease prices to as low as Rs. 10 at several areas. The director commented that he doesn't involve in politics or comment about political decisions of Government as he doesn't understand the topic.
He said that in his understanding films or any business should have the right to define their maximum retail price. He clearly stated that he feels the argument by ministers like Perni Nani is ridiculous as the budget of the film includes making costs and remunerations.
He claimed that when Rajamouli kind of a director fails by making a film with budget Rs. 200 crores when market is just around Rs. 100 crores then no one is going to bear their losses.
Similarly, if they are confident about their film and if they want to decide their ticket price to be Rs. 250 or above, then they should be given a chance. If people find those rates unaffordable then the film would suffer and others will not take that chance but if it succeeds then the market will grow.
He said that nobody should decide what demand should be and how much it can be in a free market like India. He asked Government to leave it to Industry and increase taxes to improve their income and put a maximum price limit if they wish to.
