Fans throng theatres without tickets to watch Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu

Mega Star Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu directed by Anil Ravipudi is going on a record breaking spree at the box office.

Movie lovers are thronging theatres to watch the film buying tickets but they are undergoing hardships as many fans are entering the theatres without tickets and occupying the seats that were booked by people who brought tickets.

A video posted on Instagram is going viral. An Instagram user named Pavani posted a video on Sunday, taken inside what is assumed to be an Andhra Pradesh theatre. In the video, she says she went with her family to watch MSVPG on Sunday afternoon because they couldn’t get tickets for the morning show. However, despite buying several tickets, they could only find one seat, as numerous fans had stormed the theatre and occupied seats without tickets.

She remarks that while everyone went along with it and watched the film, things turned worse after the interval, when more seats were occupied by those without tickets, leading to a scuffle between them and the ticket holders. The video shows the film playing on screen as people get into an argument that escalates to shoving and hitting. “Movie kosam kottukovadam enti (Who fights over a movie?)” wrote the Instagram user sharing the video.

Netizens reacted in a following way.

“Mari hall management emi chestundi (What is the hall management doing?)” questioned an Instagram user after watching the video. Another wrote, “Megastar movie ite anthe (That’s how it is with Megastar movie).” A person even asked, “Complaint cheyakunda kindha kurchovadam entandi (Why would you sit on the floor instead of complaining?)” One person commented, “Movie kosam kottukovadam mana India ke sadyam (It’s only possible in India to fight over movies).”
