"Popcorn Ka Keemat Kam Karo, Rs. 500 Lete Hai Wo," - Jackie Shroff To Yogi Adityanath —

Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff was one of the known faces from the fraternity to attend the chat session with Uttar Pradesh's CM, Yogi Adityanath, on his Mumbai visit. The actor, who is known for his straightforward talk and words, spoke fearlessly about one of the most important issues that normal people face in multiplexes- Rates of popcorn.

Jackie Shroff said, "Theatre ke popcorn ka keemat kam karo sir. 500 rupya lete hai popcorn ka. Yeh kya baat Hui. Picture banayenge, studio banayenge, lekin andar aayega kaun. Aap unm log pe dand lagao aur bolna ki itna jyada nahi khaa sakte hum log."

Everyone present there started off laughing but later provided applause for Jackie Shroff's guts in speaking out on this matter. Yes, it is true. The rates of popcorn and beverages in multiplexes have always annoyed middle-class families, and moreover, we are not allowed to take home-made food or even water into cinema halls. This definitely needs to stop. But will the multiplex owners listen? They didn't seem to, at least in the last 6–7 years.
