Neram and Premam fame director Alphonse Puthren has always been actively sharing his thoughts about current issues on his social media forum. Now, he has taken to his Facebook page to raise the question of keeping cinema in the GST luxury category that also has gambling and casinos.
He posted, "My sincere doubts to Mr. Kamal Hassan and Mr. Rajnikanth... 1) Why is Cinema included in the same GST category as gambling ? 2) How is gambling and cinema equal ? 3) Does cinema come out if a Dice is rolled ? Or if we play triple ace or poker would a cinema be made ? 4) Is the time spent for rolling a dice and shuffling a set of cards equal to the time and effort spent for cinema ?
You are the most respected personalities in the Tamil film Industry...I request you both to talk to the Prime minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi about this small error in budgeting. Your talks can save the entire film industry and the audience"
