Well, here it comes. Controversial filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has started a direct attack on Andhra Pradesh cinematography minister Perni Nani and also the government of Andhra Pradesh. The other day, he spoke against the government's policy on the restrictions on cinema ticket prices. Today, he started an all out attack on the AP government through his social media account.
"Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani Sir, I humbly request you or your representatives to answer the following questions sir ..What precisely is the role of government in deciding a market price of any product including films sir ? Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani sir, I understand government might intervene and fix a price below or above the equilibrium when there's a dire shortage of an essential commodity like wheat, rice , kerosene oil etc , But how does that apply to films sir ?" Varma tweeted.
"Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani Sir,It's basics of economics that a forced lowering of price even in food grains will make farmers lose motivation thus causing shortages creating lack of quality, and the same theory will also apply to Film production sir, in case you feel cinema is so essential for the poor then why doesn't the government subsidise it like how you do it for medical and educational services by paying the balance from the government's pocket sir ?" he added.
"Sir, like RATION SHOPS were created to give rice , sugar etc to benefit the poor , would u consider creating RATION THEATRES sir? The solution can be in theory of a dual price system where producers can sell tickets at their price and government can buy some tickets and sell it to poor at lower prices so that we get our money and you get your votes. It is not my request, but it is my demand to all my colleagues in the film industry to speak up on their true feelings about the ticket rates issue because ippudu nollu moosukunte inkeppatikee theravaleru ..Tharvatha Mee kharma" he concluded.
Varma's string of tweets are now going viral on social media. It remains to be seen if AP government will be reacting to the same.
