In the PIL Narasimha Rao has mentioned that people’s lives are being endangered due to the stampede and the makers, distributors and exhibitors are encouraging black ticketing of the film. With the black ticketing the number of tickets on the counter are far less than they should be. Complaints to the Telangana Home Minister also have been made for the illegal hike in the price of the tickets. The matter has reached the High Court and Joint Collector has stated that strict action will be taken if theaters are found resorting to black ticketing and hike in price illegally. The HC will hear the petition tomorrow and find a way to resolve this menace.
Helmed by S.S.Rajamouli Baahubali is witnessing greatness not only on screen but also on ticket bookings, apart from the black ticketing there is another thing which has made news yet again. The moment Baahubali’s online ticket booking was opened, the portal of a very famous online ticket booking crashed due to the huge traffic on their site. The tickets of the record breaking film were sold out within the first few hours itself.
The film stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah and Anushka Shetty in lead roles. Baahubali is geared to impress the audience in the metropolitan cities on July 10th.
