‘PK’ is not releasing in G7 as well as Maratha Mandir and the reason for that is producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra who wants me to hike up ticket prices which I am not ready to do as aam janta comes in my theatres and I can’t cheat them,” revealed a visibly agitated Manoj Desai, executive director G7 multiplexes.
An industry insider stated, “If PK makers and Aamir Khan would have really cared for the poor and the middle class, they would not have made such a demand.”
The ticket prices have been hiked up across all multiplexes and single screen theatres. Vidhu Vinod Chopra on one hand has promised transparency as far as box office numbers are concerned but at the same time such arm twisting is in bad taste. What is shocking is that Aamir Khan on one hand has espoused so many wonderful causes through Satyamev Jayate but at the same time in a quest for breaking records he is becoming part of this race for monetary success.”
