Andhra Pradesh: Perni Nani counters director RGV, asks to think about the audience as well
The war of words over movie ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh continues as the film director Ram Gopal Varma has raised questions over the reduction of the prices. Following a debate with minister Perni Nani in a news channel, RGV took to the Twitter and shot a few questions addressing the Andhra Pradesh Cinematography minister Perni Nani asking what is the role of the government in pricing the tickets.
However, Perni Nani also not turned his back and counter-attacked RGV answering each and every question raised by the maverick director through his Twitter handle. Perni Nani found fault with RGV for talking from the producer's point of view leaving the audience. He said that the government would not regulate prices based on the cost of the production of movies and made clear that it will be done based on the facilities provided by the theatres.
The minister reiterated that government will not keep quiet if the theatres exploit the people in the name of big movies.
It is known that the controversy has erupted after the YSRCP government has brought in GO 35 regulating movie ticket prices. Meanwhile, following the High directions, the government has formulated a committee to decide on prices. However, the war of words continues in Andhra Pradesh.
