Jackie Shroff requests Yogi Adityanath, 'get cinemas to lower popcorn prices'

Actor Jackie Shroff has requested Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath to lower the prices of popcorn at cinemas as it may help bringing in more people to theatres. He said that if the charges of popcorn are very high, the audience's interest in coming to cinema halls to watch movies will be affected.

‘Theatre ke popcorn ka keemat kam karo Sir. 500 rupiya lete hai popcorn ka. Picture banayenge, studio banayenge, lekin andar aayega kaun? (Please reduce the price of popcorn, sir. They charge Rs 500 for popcorn. We will make films, studios, but who will come to watch them in a cinema?),’ he said.

The actor also welcomed the Chief Minister and invited him for home-cooked food.
‘Welcome to Mumbai. Kabhi bhi ghar ka khana chaiye toh hukum karna, mil jayega (If you want home-cook food, just order and you will get it),’ he said.

Taking to social media, Jackie Shroff also expressed his gratitude to Yogi Adityanath. In the caption, he wrote, ‘It was nice to meet Yogi Adityanath Ji today along with Subhash Ghai Ji and my friends Suniel Shetty and Rahul Mittra, and learn about the UP film policy and film city. My best wishes!’

UP CM Yogi Adityanath had recently visited Mumbai and held a meeting with Bollywood celebrities including Suniel Shetty, Manoj Joshi, Kailash Kher, Sonu Nigam, Boney Kapoor and Jackie Shroff.
At the meet, Suniel Shetty also asked the UP CM to request PM Modi to put a stop on boycott Bollywood trend.
