AP Govt Approves Massive Ticket Price Hike for War 2 and Coolie
After approving a steep hike for Rajinikanth’s Coolie, the Andhra Pradesh government has now sanctioned the same increase for NTR and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2. Ticket prices have been raised by ₹75 (including GST) for single screens and ₹100 (including GST) for multiplexes, over the existing rates.
In a special privilege, War 2 distributors have also been allowed to screen an exclusive 5 A.M. show, with tickets priced at a premium of ₹500 for that screening. Coolie will also have a 5 A.M. show in AP, but without this special premium rate.
The revised prices will be in effect from August 14 to August 23. With the hike, tickets in AP will now be capped at ₹220 for single screens and ₹277 for multiplexes.
While Telangana rejected any price enhancement for these Independence Day releases, Andhra Pradesh’s approval of significant hikes is expected to boost initial box office collections for both films.
