Toxic:
Yash’s much-awaited gangster action drama Toxic could be heading for a ticket price hike in Andhra Pradesh, and if the latest reports are anything to go by, early-morning show tickets may not come cheap.
The film is reportedly seeking permission for increased ticket rates in the state ahead of its release. The biggest talking point right now is the proposed 6 AM special shows, which are expected to be priced at around ₹500 per ticket.
Yes, ₹500 for an early morning show.
Apart from the special shows, regular ticket prices could also see a hike of around ₹50 to ₹100, depending on the theatre and ticket category. The final rates, however, are yet to be officially confirmed.
For Yash fans, the early shows are obviously going to be a big attraction. After the success of KGF and KGF: Chapter 2, there is plenty of curiosity around Toxic, especially because Yash is returning in another intense action-packed role.
The film is directed by Geetu Mohandas and is being made as a gangster action drama. The makers have been keeping a lot of details under wraps, which has only added to the hype around the movie.
If the reported ₹500 price for the 6 AM shows gets the official nod, Toxic could see some seriously expensive opening-day tickets in Andhra Pradesh. Regular shows getting an additional ₹50–₹100 hike will also mean fans may have to spend quite a bit more than usual to catch the film on the big screen.
For now, though, these are reported ticket price proposals and not final official rates. More clarity is expected once the Andhra Pradesh government gives its approval and the ticket prices are officially announced.
One thing is already clear — Toxic is arriving with big expectations, and the ticket prices may be just as big.
