Petta and Viswasam, starring 2 bigwigs of Tamil Cinema - Rajinikanth and Ajith respectively, released yesterday to positive reviews. Both of them have been doing quite well at the box office.
Looks like theatres in Madurai have run into problems for collecting a higher amount for tickets than what is specified by the government.
Now, the Madurai Bench of the High Court has ordered to set up a team to investigate the pricing of tickets of Petta and Viswasam at 22 theatres in Madurai. The team will contain officers from Income Tax Department, Corporation officials, and lawyers.
This team will directly visit the theatres and verify the amount collected for each ticket, till 17th January. Petta, directed by Karthik Subbaraj had a star cast of Vijay Sethupathi, Simran, Trisha, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and others in crucial roles, while Viswasam, the Siva directorial had Nayanthara as the female lead, and Robo Shankar, Yogi Babu, Thambi Ramaiah and others had important roles.
