Aamir Khan appeals distributors not to hike ‘Dangal’ ticket prices

Bollywood star Aamir Khan has appealed to distributors of his much-awaited film Dangal to ensure that cinema houses don’t hike their ticket prices, which happens during big releases.

According to a press release, Khan is keen to control ticket pricing for Dangal.

Dangal is a film that should reach the masses and he has taken maximum efforts to make sure that the film reaches the heartland, said the press release.

Also, the 51-year-old star is campaigning to get the sports drama to be tax-free.

“I want this film to reach more and more people. I have requested theatre owners not to increase the ticket prices. Its good if the film is declared as tax-free. The audience benefits if the film is tax-free. We have applied in 12 states for making it tax-free,” said Khan.

Wherever the film becomes tax-free, he has asked the distributors to ensure that the cinema chains pass on the entire benefit to the end consumer.

Dangal is a sports biopic on the life of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat and his Olympic medallist daughters Geeta and Babita Phogat.

The film is now playing in UAE cinemas.
