Cinema theatres closed as they have some violations said Perni Nani the Minister for Cinematography in Andhra Pradesh. Some of them have closed as they know that they are violating the rules and regulations he explained.
They don’t have licences and were forced to close. This is nothing to do with the rates he stated. Renewals of various permissions were pending in some districts he said.
Nani said that distributors and exhibitors have come to him with various proposals and they are being examined he stated. The demands of the filmi people and theatre owners will be examined taking the peoples aspirations into serious account he explained.
Talking to the media the Minister said that the cinema people cannot fix the ticket rates as they like he suggested. Did the film star how we live he questioned? They might be talking about the lifestyle of Stalin he ridiculed. That star is staying in Chennai, he is paying the taxes there.
Dont compare that with Andhra he said.
Reacting to the situation in Andhra Pradesh, Suresh Babu who owns the majority of theatres said that he will close them and go to the OTT.
