Andhra Pradesh Approves Jailer 2 Ticket Hike
10 Oct
Summary
- Andhra Pradesh government allows temporary ticket price increase for Jailer 2.
- Single screens can add Rs 50, multiplexes Rs 75 for seven days.
- Jailer 2 releases October 15; Ranabaali on October 16 at regular prices.
The much-anticipated film 'Jailer 2,' starring Rajinikanth and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, is scheduled for release on October 15. Ahead of its debut, the Andhra Pradesh government has granted approval for a temporary increase in ticket prices during the film's initial seven days in theatres. This revised pricing will be applicable to both single-screen cinemas and multiplexes across the state.
The official order permits single-screen theatres to levy an extra Rs 50 per ticket and multiplexes an additional Rs 75 over their standard rates. These elevated prices will be in effect from October 15 to October 21. The distributor, Sithara Entertainments, had formally requested the price adjustment, which is permissible under state regulations that require government nod for any price beyond prescribed limits.
This ticket price hike coincides with the Dussehra festive period. Notably, Vijay Deverakonda's film 'Ranabaali' is slated for release on October 16, the day after 'Jailer 2.' Reports indicate that the production house for 'Ranabaali' has not sought a price increase, meaning it will likely be screened at regular ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. This divergence in pricing strategy sets the two films apart as they enter the competitive box-office environment.
