Salman Khan’s Tubelight is slated to hit the theatres on
this Eid and it has already got the fans thrilled.
The actor has always been thoughtful about his audiences and
has time and again spoken against the enormous rise in ticket prices.
Salman had even reduced the prices during Jai Ho. But when a
leading tabloid questioned him if he plans to do the same with Tubelight, he
declined it but also gave a valid explanation why he wouldn’t do it.
He told, “In the case of Jai Ho we had cut down the prices,
our prices were Rs 250 than the usual Rs 600-900. We ourselves had forgotten
that we have reduced the prices of our films and we were wondering why the
response was low at the box office collection.”
“When people started calling it flop and disaster is when we
realised we had actually reduced the ticket prices of our films for the fans to
watch. If one wants to create the record at the box office then do that by
reducing the ticket prices why increase it and make money”, he further added.
Salman then told he won’t interfere with the film’s ticket
prices now, and confessed, “I have realised that during Jai Ho that under any
circumstances, I shouldn’t interfere with the pricing. I leave it to the right
people and don’t tell them anything now. So for Tubelight, it will be the usual
prices that we have for all other Bollywood films.”
Film Tubelight is set against the backdrop of the Indo-China
war. Tubelight first teaser was released on May 4 and the movie will hit the
theatres on June 23.
