Telangana HC keeps the suspense alive on Pushpa 2 Premieres

Pushpa 2 The Rule fever has hit the nation and the eagerly awaited film is gearing up to release finally on 5th December. Makers Mythri Movie Makers seeked price hikes and they have asked for Rs.800 hike on ticket rates for Premiere shows in both Telugu States on 4th December. 

Both the governments have allowed for the hike and permitted show after 9:30 PM everywhere and even for 1 AM, 5 AM shows on 5th December, they gave permission to makers. But the ticket rates being more than Rs.1000 for premieres did not go down well with everyone. 

A petitioner moved to Telangana High Court challenging the decision to hike the ticket rates for such astronomical prices. HC asked Mythri Movie Makers lawyer to reason with the prices and commented that it a family of 10 has to spend Rs.10,000 just to watch one show of the film. 

Such prices are disturbing, the judge remarked. Petitioner also asked for whose benefit are these benefit shows are being conducted and that too at such prices. He demanded the producers to put the amount in an escrow account. Mythri Movie Makers lawyer asked for two weeks time to clarify on this issue. 

But the petitioner stated that the movie would release and nothing can be done about the hikes. Telangana High Court judge has stated that his final decision will be announced only in the evening. Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna have given 5 years for this movie and Sukumar is directing the film.
