Andhra Pradesh Approves Temporary Ticket Price Hike for Rajinikanth's Jailer 2
The Andhra Pradesh government has approved a temporary ticket price hike for Rajinikanth's film Jailer 2 during its opening week from October 15 to 21. Single-screen theatres can charge Rs 50 extra and multiplexes Rs 75 extra for five shows daily. This increase applies only to Jailer 2, while Vijay Deverakonda's Ranabaali, releasing a day later, will maintain standard ticket prices. Andhra Pradesh regulates movie ticket prices, requiring government approval for hikes, unlike most other states where pricing is market-driven.
