Check out some of the other reactions that surfaced for the producer’s tweet :

Council take the money.. As usual Vishal spoke too much and then literally did nothing.. All these proposals came during producer councils strike against Qube, I don’t think he implemented even one proposal.. No idea why they went on a long strike then 2/2

No one will regulate these things, in chennai the normal theater ticket rate is 150 to 200. But for all top hero movies they charge 500 to 1500 in counter! No one will ask questions but blame ppl watching on telegram.i don’t support that but who will ask these questions

Charges should only apply for overall tickets a person buy but not for every tickets a person buy . This is one of the most fraud thing happening
