Small movie producers of Tollywood vehemently opposed the proposal to increase the ticket price in theatres across AP. They say that if the prices are hiked, it will all the more kill small and medium budget films.
They opined that the current ticket prices are themselves very expensive and increasing them further will prove nail in the coffin for movies with small and mid range heroes.
A group of small movie producers met at AP Film Chamber of commerce on Monday and declared that they will protest and agitate if the movie ticket prices are increased further.
Producers M S Gupta, Mohan Vadlapatla, RK, Nattikumar, Shankar Goud, Pusala Kishore et al participated in the meeting. They alleged that a few top producers in Tollywood recently met the Chief Minister and requested him to increase the ticket prices without even consulting the other producers in the industry. They claimed that over 1,000 theatres got shut down in the last one decade and increase in ticket prices will lead to further shut downs.
"Everyone knows howmany people suffered huge losses due to 'Khaleja', 'Puli' et al. The population is increasing on one hand and theatres are decreasing in number. This is because the ticket prices are already high and audience are not coming to theatres. If increased further, it will be a disaster.We will sit for a hunger strike if the government increases ticket prices" Mohan Vadlapatla said.
