The Andhra Pradesh government has approved a hike in ticket rates for the opening week of Rajinikanth’s film ‘Jailer 2’, aiming to boost cinema revenues.
The state government of Andhra Pradesh has given formal approval to increase cinema ticket prices for the opening week of the much‑anticipated Tamil‑language film ‘Jailer 2’, starring superstar Rajinikanth. The decision, announced by the state’s film‑exhibition authority, allows theatres across the state to charge a higher fare during the film’s first seven days of release.
Officials said the price hike is intended to capture the heightened demand expected for the star’s latest outing and to generate additional revenue for the local exhibition sector. The revised rates will apply to all screens showing the film, with no exemption for premium or standard categories.
The move comes as ‘Jailer 2’ prepares for a wide release across Andhra Pradesh, where Rajinikanth enjoys a massive fan base. Industry observers note that such temporary price adjustments are common for blockbuster openings, though they may affect affordability for some movie‑goers.
The government has not disclosed the exact percentage increase, but theatres are expected to implement the new pricing from the film’s first day of screening. The approval is effective only for the opening week, after which regular ticket rates will resume.
